Brammer.

Thank you for the kind words on my work!

I didn’t forget the Saab 21/21R, but I don’t consider as excellent so I wouldn’t include it this “series of excellent fighters”. I think all the later Saab fighters (Tunnan, Draken, Viggen and now Gripen) are extremely good aircraft but in my humble opinion, the J-21 was not nearly as outstanding as these later Saab designs.

I hope this explains my comment. 🙂

It was 1st, both as an indigenous fighter design for Saab using a pusher-prop and Ejection seat (kind of needed, eh?), and then as a Jet-Powered fighter (removed the DB V-engine, and put in a Whittle Jet, much like a DH Vampire). The J-29 took two leaps, a Nene engine, and Swept-back wings, but, I think the aerodynamics borrowed heavily from Kurt Tank’s ideas, such as the TA-154. I love your Artwork, very nice, quite accurately detailed! Just be sure other ‘details’ are as good. Good Work!!
