They are all beautiful. Love that aeroplane !

It's OK but I think to maintain some sort of visual flow i'd have cranked down the outer half of the canards to the same angle as the horizontal tails.

They might need re-positioning forward then as the tips would be very close to the LE of the main wing and that might spoil the airflow.

There was a real one which is as the model

And i'm sure it worked perfectly well.  I just think that from a purely aesthetic PoV the canards would look better cranked.

No.  Like ALL Phantoms, it's utterly hateful.

If that's how you see it, ok with me. I like it a lot!

...which confirms my impression that the canards were place a bit too low on the model. I can hardly imagine that the outer intake walls could hold them, and if there's an axis inside, it would disrupt the air stream?
I like the idea, but not so much the execution.

Or, maybe, canted upwards at the same angle as the outer wings?

Spitstang.  Nice.

[Captain Canada]

That looks so strange !

That's excellent work, the details are impressive and the scheme looks great!
