Post pics, build a model, or just speculate, but VIGGENIZE IT!
Javelin concept, note that I just moved the horizontal stabiliser from the tail to the nose.
Or opposite is possible: Javelinize the Viggen? <_<

That would cruel to the Viggen, you'd have to make the wings THICKER.  :o

Uh, I am not engineer, this was just a joke about changing the foreplanes into tailplanes, not for actual flight, just for shelves (of crazy modelers) <_<
(there was a picture of mine, but I forgot to add the link, this is corrected now, as the pictures quite often don't work with the {img} tool, sorry)

That looks OK actually, I'd have hated to see a Viggen with Javelin wings!

To build a picture of that it is not very easy: I should find bitmaps drawings of both planes at the same scale and resolution, or draw all again in vectorial drawing which is very long (even without panel lines). I will see if I find time later this week. :unsure:

Viggenised  Jaguar  could  work , how practical it would be  I  don't  know, but it would  look nice doing its bit at an airshow.

I have built one a few years ago, see https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php/topic,44542.0.html  ;)
EDIT: today (and quite often) pictures don't appear in this topic of mine, but they are the B62 group of pictures on my workbench site http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/whif_workbench.htm

Excellent stuff  Tophe, and your picture set up is admirable  :thumbsup:

Small contribution to the Canardize it topic.


Su-27 scale-o-rama ( Su-27 1/144 + viggen canard and wings 1/100 )


Hawk 100 ala Typhoon


Vulcan scale-o-rama ( vulcan 1/200 + su-47 1/144 )



Tonka with mirage wings


EE Lightning ( f-15 wings + viggen canard )


La-250 ( tailplane used as a canard, shorter fuselage, increased wing span and chord )




I also did a Jaguar with canards ( Aranha and Exocet ) .
And A-4, F-4, F-15, F-106, AMX among others...
