Nice, I like the wingtip IRIS-Ts, looks good, better IMO than the outer wing rails the UK are using for ASRAAM.

Love the splinter-type camo! Very nicely done.  What kit did you use?

Beautiful!  I don't think the present wing design would admit of wingtip missile rails, but it could be changed if the desiring customer wanted to pay for the engineering.  Much like, in theory, you could add probe and drogue refueling capability to the F-35A, but there would be a charge for extra engineering and a certain weight penalty.

Excellent camo and truly inspired in that three tone gray scheme!

These are very good pictures but why do you say this is "what-if": it is obviously scale 1, Real... (scale 72th or even 48th or 24th models cannot be that perfect) ;)

Thank
comes live from Korea; This is a what if because there are imagined fiction. The Swiss will never have to F35. See my website http://www.figthingfalcon.eu/index.html

The Swiss will never have to F35.

I wouldn't necessarily say never given the F-35 will be in production for the next 20 odd years and indeed is planned to remain in service with the USAF until 2070.  That said, Swiss history with fighter purchases in recent years will probably mean any such acquisition is years away and will probably be contested .

Interesting link, thanks! (My favorite of yours may be the twin-fin F-16...). I will send you a PM, explaining more in French, thanks again!
