If the official brochure is anything to go by, David and Filip also had provissions for the centerline store.  I don't think there's space to carry on all three at once but the structure, plumbing, and wiring are there.

Any interesting (and not to serious) discussion about "Super Draken", it is in Swedish but has nice pics

Oh, this was posted when I was on holidays. Love it!

Playing around and inspired by the recent posting of the Swedish Carrier with Naval Draken, I wondered how to make a Draken Carrier suitable and came up with this (Note practicality played no part in this):

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Along with other nations (the USA and USSR being the most prominent), Sweden investigated the benefits of FSW wings in the '80s using a modified Draken:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I've wondered what a so-called Super Draken would look like, built in the spirit of the Mitsubishi F-2A/F-16A.

You will need at least 2 for this Super Draken:



With conventional alongside for comparison:

Funny you should do that - I've been looking thoughtfully at a spare 1/72nd Draken and various 1/144th or 1/100th swingers....

^^^^ Absolutely gorgeous!

I have been thinking in this kind of modification but with more modern wings and tail plane: those of Mirage F1 :thumbsup:

I went with F-105 style wings because it was largely contemporary to the Draken & the intakes extended into the wing in a similar way.  I kind of intended it at as a natural follow on from the Lansen.

Hmm, I tried looking at putting a Mirage F1 wing on the Draken but ran into trouble.  The problem is that the intakes are pretty much integral to the fuselage on the F1, but are bolted onto the fuselage on the Draken.  If you wanted to put a more modern high-wing on the Draken, maybe the Jaguar & it's intakes would be easier, especially from a modelling point of view?
