Rainer Hoffmann Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Dear fellow modellers, I haven't been working on the Viggen lately. Instead I have done extensive research on a possible follow-on project once the Viggen is finished (sould be by about 2025 ). I'm busy preparing 5-view drawings, cross sections and drawings of various bits and pieces. My goal is to start with much better drawings than those I had for the Viggen when I started the build. Can you guys identify the aircraft type and variant from this not so unimportant part??? What say you? Cheers Rainer Edited January 14, 2018 by Rainer Hoffmann F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Didn't Lee White made a wooden master for a F-111 vacform project? Cheers Cees Rainer Hoffmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Correct, Jari, it's for an FB-111 A FB-111A. Note it had two types of wing pylons, one for weapons and another for tanks: http://aviationarchives.blogspot.ca/2017/03/general-dynamics-f-111fb-111-structural.html Jari Yes, I'm aware of that. That document is really, really helpful. It answered a lot of my questions regarding the F-111. My drawing above is the weapons pivot pylon for the SRAMs, that were carried on the innermost pylons only. Didn't Lee White made a wooden master for a F-111 vacform project? Cheers Cees Yes, he did. But not in my preferred scale Cheers Rainer Edited January 15, 2018 by Rainer Hoffmann stusbke and Lee White 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
