Vultures1 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Beautiful Draken! I bet that masking the red and white scheme was a hoot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haris Ali Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Great paintwork Lukas. Excellent finish. The tricky decal work (I assume it's decal) is very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoZG Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 OK, I'll take the risk of becoming public enemy when I say this: all of the fabulous comments above won't bring you any good because no one commented one bad thing on your kit. Did you ever see this particular plane, either live or on the photos? If so, has it ever been so dirty or darkened like in your interpretation? If you want to make realistic models then someone needs to be honest with you and tell you that you overdid with effects and for that reason the final result can't be praised with highest comments, unfortunately. Take this opinion as good intended for you to work on your skills and something that is purposed positively. Thank you for the understanding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasM Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Your right Marko. Absolutely. But I never tryied to make model looks like realistic plane in 100% (copy in miniature). For me model should looks attractive. For me it's just fun. And true is that this Draken is in special paiting scheme, but I'm sure nobody seen it in every day, and nobody can say how it was dirty or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HόόK Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Unique theme and very nice paint job+weathering. Keep it up Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbondoni Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I love this particular color scheme for the Draken, and I thought the weathering was excellent, but as has been mentioned, I haven't seen the plane in person. All I can say is that I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 hi, I like your model very much! as was said before, Austrian Drakens were very well maintained, and relatively clean. BUT, they got dirty as well! especially on the underside! here is a nice example from the official Austrian Bundesheer homepage: http://www.bundesheer.at/download_archiv/photos/flieger/galerie.php?id=855&currRubrik=55 credits as cited on site: "Foto: Bundesheer" so from my point of view, your heavy weathering is possibly realistic! what "worries" me more is the placement of the fuel tanks on your model... they should definitely be a bit further forward, which translates to a different red/white scheme on them.... both are red in front and only white at the back!..... sorry to point this out! but for me it is more important than the dirt best regards!

Mountain goat Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice Draken! I particularly like the realistic looking windscreen; no join and very thin and realistic (canopy too despite being the earlier version). Also: nice touch, those open air brakes. so from my point of view, your heavy weathering is possibly realistic! +1 Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasM Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Exdraken, I didn't check this. I did it like instruction said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice Draken! I particularly like the realistic looking windscreen; no join and very thin and realistic (canopy too despite being the earlier version). Also: nice touch, those open air brakes. +1 Jay wonder where that early canopy comes from? was this included in the Revell kit? Exdraken, I didn't check this. I did it like instruction said. nevermind! something went wrong... did you have the Revell instructions? http://www.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/04352_%23BAU_SAAB_J_35J_DRAKEN.PDF great model nonetheless!

LukasM Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 So then it's my misteake. For me it is not big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Great Build! Another detail which is missing in most instructions is that the Austrian Drakens had parts of their landing gears in darkgreen. Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
