mack Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hello, The one and only kit I've managed to finish this year. 1/72 Saab J35J Draken: kit by Revell, photoetched by Eduard, Maestro Models pitot tube, Vallejo paints. Decals are from the kit with the exception of the large numbers on wings that were painted with home made masks. Thanks for your comments. 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Great result with realistic weathering. The large numbers on the wings look amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Very nice Draken. I've always liked these and have an old Aifix one in the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thank you all for the nice words. I've tried to reproduce a really worn aircraft (see attached example) but I'm far from being satisfied with the results. Nevertheless building the bigger 1/48 model is really tempting me now. Regards, Iulian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Iulian still looks very nice! maybe in order to achieve your desires, you'd need to weather the markings as well and tone them done a fair bit! it also seems that there is less weathing on the fron of the plane, where protective "clothing" might be installed when parked outside.... looking forward to your 1/48 attempts! (hope that there will be as many as Draken paint and model options ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is a damn fine build of a Draken so, one kit or ten kits, you should be delighted with that, great job! Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That is a stunning build of a beautiful aircraft - it just screams science fiction to me. Fantastic work and I think that you are being far too harsh on yourself! Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Mack, a great build on the Draken. Stick with the one true scale and don't be tempted by the "Dark Side". As regards the large wing numbers, the application looks brilliant but why is she numbered zero five when she carries 50 on the fin as the picture of 40 seems to show ?. If I have missed something I blame early onset dementia. Once again a brilliant build , Well done, Trev. P.S. I just noticed the comma on the fin number. I think there must be much about Draken numbering that I don't know !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned in a post of a fellow forum member on the intended WIP topic (WIP that didn't actually materialized): http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234950751-saab-j-35j-draken-swedish/ "... About the decal sheet and the numbers for the grey jet. The sheet is correct!! At some point there were 2 aircraft with the same number at F10. To avoid mistakes the number was changed to 5,0 on one aircraft; therefore is it 05 on the wings and 5,0 on the fin." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Mack, thanks for the explanation, at my age, I sometimes wonder if I have missed something. You have set my mind at rest. Trev. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjb Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Very nice build, of an aircraft we used to take for granted at UK airshows. Last one in mil service I saw flying were Austrian Air Force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 A very nice looking Draken - really makes me wanna build another J, I gave mine to a buddy not building models but loving Drakens so.. Definetly give the big brother in 48th scale a go. I love that one. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
