I think I gave you a couple of naming tips there, didn't I? As for the flag, it's ok, the colors are alright, but I'd prefer horizontal stripes.

Hrm... well, I intended no offence, but... I understand if I didn't put it in quite the most sensitive manner. I am very sorry if you took any offence.
But... yeah. Rather short in comparation to their diameter, for one. The most appropriate description might be that it's rather disproportioned.
The ones on the Dreki and Bergrisi classes looks just fine though. I would suggest you use them.

No offense taken. The plane might be a tad too big. The point of having a jet powered recon plane was that it would be almost impossible to shoot down. It is a two seater by the way.
Beobrazov, you did indeed give me the idea for the names of the cruisers. I am using the same naming convention for the cruisers for my Norwegian AU; sea creatures and other mythological beasts.

IMHO main problem with that jet seaplane is that it looks like the jet exhaust is blowing straight into the tail (and that's not healthy for the materials).
Maybe think about something like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saunders-Roe_SR.A/1
Or perhaps an oversized adaptation of He-162, with a jet engine above the fuselage and H-shaped tail with a proper hull-like bottom part of the fuselage?

Didn`t think of that. A H-tail would easily remedy the problem. A Saunders Roe SR.A/1 like plane would be too big. I could always remake the plane or design an entirely new one.

Wouldn't say so.
Actually, Your jet is 104 pixels long, which gives lenght of 15,85m. SR.A/1 was 14,24m long - it only looked so bulky because of a very small canopy.

I like the idea of the jet seaplane, though the Saunders Roe might or might not be better but it did have two engines and early jet engines were underpowered, and though it would have to be very late war at the earliest to enter service and I would think jet fighters and bombers would be a priority more than a seaplane, and a radar would not fit it the engine nacelle as the position of it would take the place of the air-intake, however if you meant the radar was in the plane's nose that would work better.

The radar is indeed in the nose of the plane. A long with 4 20mm auto cannons for attacking small vessels. I am thinking of the date of the plane along 1941-1942. The Vikings saw the potential before others did. The only reasons for why the Germans began using jet powered planes in 1943-1944 was becasue they were loosing and needed something that was better than the Allies had. The only reason the Allies started producing jets in 1944 was as a response to the German jets.

What's the problem? Take SR A/1 as a basic idea (with it's straight wings etc.), get a 2-man crew (with a canopy like in, say, Gloster Meteor or Me-262 2-seat variants), replace the central air intake with radar dome (either Mosquito-style or a x-mas tree German-style) and get side intakes like F-80/F-94/T-33 (only properly higher).

uhm..... that last thing is wrong. development of german jet engines started before the war, and so did the british.
