The radical design of SAI Ambrosini SS-4 -with canard-style wing layout and a ´pusher´propeller-, developed in the late 1930s; had to recover urgently in last months of WW2, incorporating the innovation of the jet engine.
The result showed similarities with their contemporary japanese, american,...... or swedish.

Shinden meets SAAB J-21R. I like it! :thumbsup:

Nicely done! I only discovered the SS-4 in Greg Goebel's article on Air Vectors last month. It's nice to see one in the flesh, so to speak.

Cheers
Nicely done!!!!!!
Really top shelf build and finished in silver to boot. 2 x :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I like your style, PacoPepe! :thumbsup:
Wow, that's an interesting looking bird... so almost Shinden 2, but it's so... Short. That's the one big difference when you look at it, is the overall length, and the wing root width, and the shape of the tailplanes. It's such an interesting look though, and the silver finish is nice.
Very nice Paco.
But no spats, t-tail or tip tanks?

Since some of you asked me, i´m going to tell how made the kit. I chose the model with desgin most similar to the plane as interesting as the SAI Ambrosini SS-4-; it was the Saab J-21A of Heller.
I had to clear the cross-sectional stringers of Saab. The verticals stabilizers are made of plasticard, and the horizontals come from other plane. It only lacked to clear the piston engine, for simulate the jet engine.
The intakes of jet engine behind the cabine are made of plasticard.
Really a Italian Cannard. Nice plane and interesting. Is my favourite concept, and your plane is a high exponent. :thumbsup: :cheers: :bow:
Seems you're on a roll with '46 canard jets! ;)
Very convincing Italian result for a converted Swedish design.
Cool! :thumbsup:
