Any idea of who built this?

Harold Smith on Twitter - I think he's from the What-If site.

I usually can't save pics from Twit but seems I found a back door :D

The model was done by BTS/What-If member CammNut. Not sure if that's Harold Smith or not.

No, Harold Smith is "Weaver" over on WIM.

Cammnut is another entity entirely. ;)

Nice! I'm assuming that the Marine Lightning's underwing ordnance is an AS.34 Kormoran anti-ship missile?

No - if you click on the image you will see that it is an AS.30.

Sweden is one of those places where the rapid climb of the Lightning would be of benefit & the short range not such a significant hindrance.
