What about a VG Cougar?

Alternatively, what if the RAAF got the Cougar instead of the Avon Sabre?

Having bought a cheap old Revell B-57 and then discovered that it's 1/76th instead of 1/72nd (yes it is enough to make a difference), I can totally empathise Jeff.
My suggestion? Pick the least accurate one and scaleorama it into something totally different... :wacko:
That variable geometry set-up is rather interesting with the fixed portion also including the air intakes.
Maybe this design could be applied to a Sukhoi Fitter as well? Moving the intakes to the fixed portion of the wing could free up the nose for a big radar. F-105 intakes? :wacko:
Considering the gently rounded profile of the thing, could you chop the edges of the wings and the tail feathers, put a squared off (vector) tail pipe on it, and call it a stealthy Cougar? If you really want some work, you could rework the landing gear doors, and mod how the canopy attaches to the fuselage.

How about converting the 'non-standard' Revell Cougar into an AS-1 Kennel-style anti-shipping missile? (Being carrier launched, it could even been recoverable -- although you'd have to be brave to be on that flightdeck ;D )
I like your thinking! :thumbsup:

Remember the glove vanes on early F-14's? How about putting something similar on the Panther/Cougar along the trailing edge of the wing section behind the air intakes? Why? I have no idea. :blink: :blink: :blink:

A drawing of the same:
