FD scale Alternate Universe Designs

My Jaguars for AU Use (DCAF not for anyone else's use):

[Trojan]

what radar is that sorry if i missed it somewhere

Would the MBDA Laby happen to be inspired by the Python 4/5 and like the design

Blue Vixen / Blue Fox I presume. Is that the LRTMS from the Tornado under the nose I see? Also FYI Nammer was an actual IAI project based on the Kfir.

Combination of Python 4/5 Mica and R-73/74

Aye, Blue Fox/Vixen, the LRTMS that you think you see is actually the nose from DP's GR.1. Namer is actually Hebrew for "Tiger" since they don't have Hebrew words for Jaguar or Leopard, they use the English, per Radome. It also predates the Namer/Kfir Project, therefor legitimate, lol.

Fair enough for the naming convention. As for the LRTMS, would you consider giving them FLIR as on the Tornado as well or possibly in the position that the Harrier had it?

[eswube]

Very interesting idea. I like it. What about carrier-borne version of it (along the lines of Jaguar M plus radar and not necessarily for the French Navy?)

[schepper911]

very nice Jags, allways have been one of my fav planes,perhaps that you can made an Belgian Navy one ?? I tried myself but i don't have the golden hands of some keep up the marvelous work

I've been drawing this non-stop since around 20:30GMT. Will get some updates too soonish along the lines of CFTs and different EW bits etc. Looks somewhat different scaled up to FD scale than in SB scale too...

[nighthunter]

Where is FLIR on the Tornado, I never did like the AV-8B/Harrier II placement on the nose.

[Blackbuck]

On the RAF aircraft at least it is parallel to the LRMTS (for some reason I keep thinking it's LRTMS...) as such one of the cannons was removed to make room for it. Another option you could consider would be Thales NAVFLIR integrated into one of the hardpoints somewhat like you would have if using tiger eyes with a Litening or Sniper pod but not as bulky. You might want to also consider integrating EW dispensers and jammers into the hardpoints and wingtips as well to free up the outboard stations for more stores.
