Looks good!
When I fist saw the comic book pictures, I thought it needed canards like the Kfir and Aflas Cheetah.

Tophe

Thanks!
Is your improvement like this?: <_<

or... canards in the nose, like other jets happen to have? :unsure:

Exactly!
... although it could be interesting to try different locations for the canards. Like, low below the windscreen, like on the Eurofighter.

Hmmmmm.... perhaps the one with canards behind the cockpit looks more balanced.

Tophe

... while I prefer the last one..;
So everyone finds his favourite, this is good!
Thanks again, for this Dan Cooper source that I did not know at all. :thumbsup:

When the SAAB Viggen became favorite for the Sale of the Century, Dassault sellers replace the Mirage F1E by the Mirage 5V-37 inspired by the Viggen: <_<

And here are Mirage VTOLs with 8 lateral vertical jets, both normal (tailless Mirage) or twin-boom: <_<

With 3 kits (of Mirage 5), there are 3 fins, that may become 1 fin + 2 tailplanes, making a tailed Delta Mirage: <_<

Will die without understanding this world.

Tophe

You are right, thanks!
I did not copy: I had forgotten this one, if ever I saw it clearly in the past (maybe just a profile, not showing its felta wing). So I reinvented it simply, decades later. For fun.

I was thinking that the last one (5Q+) resembles MiG-21, but with different intakes and nose.
