1/48 SAAB J29


Recommended Posts

Here's one I made earlier. OK so the kit has some shape/dimension/scale issues but; if you want a kit that goes together easily and a stress free build then I can certainly recommend it.

Paints used were Xtracolor Ocean Blue/Forest Green/Lichtgrau/ Sand. A bit of pastel weathering with a bit of silver pencil chipping. I did stuff a load of weight in the nose but it still plonked it's backside down and so the bit of Blutak (other taks are available) under the nosewheel. The decals are really glossy but settle down without any bother at all.

A very respectable portrait of a J 29B from the F 22 Wing in service with the U.N. in Congo 1962!

 

I have to say that the Hobbyboss kit looks better than I had been led to believe. The scale discrepancy (it's supposed to be a bit on the wrong side of 1:50) won't be noticeable unless you put it next to a Tarangus Tunnan.

 

The Austrian machines were, of course, a different version, the J 29F with afterburner and dogtooth wing.

 

Looking good!

 

Kind regards,
