FFVS J-22

This tiny aircraft shows some interesting (IMO) features:

low use of light alloy or expensive materials
strong undercarriage that closes doors after deploiment you will know about this point soon
design under pressure

For some reason this design leaps out for carrier conversion to me.  Here is a 3-view:

Hi GTX,
I agree with you and I think the point is sturdiness of undercarriage. Look at my Falcata entry in Navalize it! GB

You guesses are almost right as when I built my J 22 many years ago, there was only one kit available.
Arne Andersson vacu in 1/72.

I scratchbuilt mine instead with the following parts.

Fuselage - Bf 109 E
Cowling - FW 190
Canopy - Mitsubishi Zero
Landing gear - F4U Corsair
Tailplane - AT-6 Texan



When they tested FW 190 together with J 22 in 1945, the FW 190 only had german markings and never got any swedish crowns.

Of course I have a solution of that too.

And wings? Bf-109 E I guess.

How would the wooden construction of the J-22 be affected by sea deployment? And what engines would be suitable for a J-22C?

Upps, forgot the wing and yes, they're from Bf 109E.

Checked my reference book about the J 22. Most of them were scrapped in the early 50's and no problems with delamination on the birch plywood.

Getting suitable engines were always a problem in Sweden during the war.
The Twin Wasps in the J 22's were ex-french war-booty engines bought from Germany in 1943 and reverse engineered copies built by SFA in Sweden, originally delivered with the Seversky P-35A in 1940

As the swedes license built the DB605, how about something like the finnish converted VL Myrsky II to Pyörremyrsky 

Another couldhavebeen is the Curtiss 75 Hawk also in store and for sale in France when they bought the engines, but they weren't that desperate to get such an unmodern plane then in 1943...

cheers, Jan

Hmm, wonder how and cCurtiss H-75 hawk would do when re-engined with a license-built Swedish DB605?  They'd need to add a radiator ad such (perhaps low-drag leading-edge radiators and oil coolers between the fuselage and the main landing gear), but it could make for an interesting aircraft.

I assume that deployement at sea would be harder on wooden parts than they experienced in OTL series, as for the Hawk-75 it was offered repeatedly to the Swedish purchasing commission but turned down in favour of the EP-106 and the V-49C

Nice!!!

What if the Swedes had fitted a DB605 to the J-22 to update it, after all they had DB605s:



Crude rendition.

I hope see this model soon

[GTX]

Your one is even nicer

Spot on - G.55

Those Ilmavoimat DB605 ones look great - maybe I need another F.22 kit since the one I have is already allocated to another whiff.
