And I have both a JA 37 Viggen AND a J 35 Draken already slated to be built in RAAF colours!  ;D

I considered de-viggenizing a Viggen, with a conventional layout :blink: .Will probably look a lot like a Phantom afterwards - but it will be a major surgery stunt and require good ingredients. Esp. the tail has been causing headaches for years.  ;)

That's a coincidence, so do I.    :mellow:

For RAAF (or indeed Australian aircraft, armour etc) or SAAB types ? Maybe Antipodean ?

I have a huge list of planned RAAF and/or RAN FAA whifs.  Some closer to reality than others.

An Aussie TB sounds great! Anything in Australian or Kiwi service. NZ already had Skyhawks for a while, that's pretty whiffy and it was RW!
Draken, Viggen and Grippen lineage sounds cool too.

Kind of my point.  :thumbsup:

Rather than limit the Swedes to Australia/Kiwiland, give them the whole Southern Hemisphere to play in.  ;D

So Charles XII wins at Poltava and the Swedes remain "top of the pile"in Northern Europe and their Empire expands in the later half of the 18th Century ?

Not my intent; but if that floats you longship, why not!  ;)

My idea was more along the lines of "What if the Swedes sold their aircraft to ..... (Southern Hemisphere nation)".
