Some of the ideas come from this thread:

For instance: J79

I have changed my mind and the powerplant will be RR Spey

[ysi_maniac]

I know: severe sanding is required B)

About the nozzle, it is smaller than those of Fujimi's F-4K but bigger that Spey's diametre. It is taken from an F-4K or M of a Polish manufacturer: Chematic

Looking good so far!

Are you increasing the wing sweep?  Or maybe a delta like the P.1090?

Here is alink you may find helpful.

Thanks AD,
your link is quite interesting: I have bookmarked.

AFAIK my plane will not be in the line of any Hawker study, but a totally different approach : A supersonic fighter for the 70s to go along F-111K B) ... more or less ...

Does that mean a VG Hunter??

^^^^ Oh no, that is much beyond my skills :dum:

Nothing is beyond your skills ysi, and im not joking   (for example: the side by side F-104 canopy surgery without a single crack on the canopy!)

Very kind of you

Hey Carlos, that's looking good.  Something to consider, I was just reading in BSP Vol.4 (Hypersonics, etc) that there was a plan to add ramjets in underwing pods to the Fairey Delta II.  The plan came to an end because the air intakes were limited to the design speed meaning making it any faster wasn't going to work.  

You might have to consider some different air intakes.

Just personal preference here, but I reckon the intakes from a 1/72 F-105 would do nicely for the increased mass-flow as well as, IMHO, the aesthetics.  For some reason, Fieri intakes just add, IMHO, to the coolness of an aircraft as long as they're integrated into the design and not an "add on".

Is it just me or is there some passing resemblance to a single-engined Fantan?  This is much better looking though.

Neato!
