Thanks all y'all Saur the canards will definitely go between the guns. Eddie I was in fact at CTHULHU'S the last couple o days. He wouldn't let me steal any of his models so I just stole his ideas

I like it!  Grab that "Stealth" doorprize before you leave, eh?

Unfortunately too late  I am already in TX. on the way home

I checked the back of his truck prior to his leaving !

Allright I got off my lazy arse and did some work today
Mo PSR and tailplanes

Thrust reverser components

It would have been too much work to try to incorporate the rear fuselage from the Viggen into the 'Sader so I made something up to get a thrust reverser
Original Crusader exhaust

Thrust choke

Outer nozzle with thrust vector plates




And Canards

Damn, that is looking pretty damn interesting for certain.  Crazy details on the engine work.  That is just some cool work, man.

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Saur I didn't take a profile shot but I did place the canards higher

 :bow:Great!

Although I think the thrust reverser looks more like a thrust-vectoring nozzle, with the F-105 parts (they are, aren't they?  ) being the actuators.

You're making some nice progress on this mean machine, Toolslinger!

Thanks all Y'all I was going to just use the components from the Viggen but that would have required cutting up both the F-8 and the Swede as well as much PSR. This way I still have the cool Viggen fuselage for another project. I don't think the timeframe for this build would allow for thrust vectoring but if I am wrong feel free to correct me. I also don't really think it would really need thrust vectoring with all those control surfaces.

[John Howling Mouse]

I am amazed and impressed!

[Sauragnmon]

They're coming along nicely STS.  Very nice looking indeed.

Thanks Y'all  More progress next week .........
