I can't stop thinking dive bomber when looking at the Scorpion.  Am I crazy?  ;D
Could you tell around here?  I will agree, though, that the arrangement of the landing gear does suggest that as an option.

Congratulations  :)

The thought went a bit further in the meantime- US Marines Sea Scorpions and Sea Apaches......

(I know it makes less sense than adopting radial-engined Navy aircraft, so I'm invoking Rules of Cool here.)

Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

First of all, my congratulations on 1000 replies.  Secondly, I love those last two Swedish Typhoons.  I'm thinking those color schemes would look good on other aircraft, I'm pushing for Swedish radar-equipped Harrier II's as JAS-38's.

Actually, hey JP, when did the Scorpion get evaluated by the US in your setting?  I was thinking of the possibility of Supermarine getting an American licence-production partner, who then discovered the biplane's potential as a divebomber (if it doesn't conflict with your setting) and further developed it as such.

Thank you; the Harrier II would look good with it; unfortunally, for the moment i don't have such a profile.
There are 3 variations of the basic Swedish splinter camo: desert, Winter and Tropical

I did not developed any backstory to it, so feel free to came up with a year and an American partner to it; thank you

But don't you remember that the Swedish Harriers were AJS-38s and were based on the GR.5.... ;)

That's right, the JAS-38's followed along later and were similar to the Harrier FGR.11's flown by both the RAF and the FAA but incorporated the radar, IRST, and other systems from the AJS-39 Gripen.

Here is another one.
Like most of the F-104's operators, Denmark also opted for the modernisation program and most of its Strafighters's Fleet was transformed into F-104-2000 versions
