The Su-18 ('Fitter N') - a missing family link [pics & story on p. 4]

[trickyrich]

I finally caught up with this build and I love it!!!! 

It's such a cool idea and it works, very much possibility I think.

Now you've made want to go out a build  1/48th version!!!!  hmmmmm

I knew I'd seen that pic before lol. A couple of the finished build 'beauty' pics aren't working tho

Yes, I know. Since I posted the stiff here I made updates at FlickR, where they are hosted. Unfortunately the URLs change when you edit the pics - but strangely NOT when you replace them... 

Repaired the "damage" in the background entry on page #4 (http://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,39538.msg656784.html#msg656784).

<...> Personally I wondered how a Panavia Tornado with this kind of air intakes would look like...? Maybe with fixed wings and a twin fin...? 

ADV with the wings from a Mirage IV (cut to size if necessary) some canards.

Hi

on this picture can you tell me more in detail with which part you did?

The air intakes come from a PM Model Su-15 "Flagon", and IIRC the rear section of the ducts are pieces/sections from 1:72 Bv 155 underwing radiators (ArtModel kit) - even though I'd today rather sculpt/scratch them from 2C putty and make them longer, so that they blend into the fuselage more elegantly.
