Didn't see this coming.  :)

+1 on the re-use of the Fitter wings. 
Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Also love the Fitter wings - but the equally lovely things under the wings are from Airfix or Matchbox Viggen, aren't they? ;)

Hmm! that certainly gives food for thought for the CA-23 I got off you Les ---- I've got a spare Tornado wing box and wings sitting around looking all innocent ---    >:D

Yep.  I suspect that CAC colluded with a Scandinavian ex-pat and produced a stand-off weapon that cost as much as the plane carrying it !

Interestingly, the wings work out to have almost the same area (that would include the wing box). Might have to increase the tail plane though
