A total of 651 Swedish made SAAB Drakens were manufactured between 1955 and 1974. In addition to the Swedish Air Force, these fighters was also used in Finland, Denmark and Austria, and a couple were also exported to the United States. The first 12 Drakens entered the Finnish Air Force service in 1970 and in total there were 48 Drakens in the FAF service during some 30 years. My model depicts the Draken DK-215 in the markings of the Lapland Air Command. It made its first flight in February 1975 and the last flight of that fighter took place in August 2000. I built my model from an excellent 1/48 scale “shake and bake” Hasegawa kit and the decals for the Finnish Draken are from Gal Decals. I also used an Eduard masking set for the canopy and a Finnish made photoetch set for the cockpit details. I wanted to build the Draken with the earlier large blue and white roundels and the fighter has been painted in the three colour camo of the FAF. The following shades of Xtracolor were used for the camo: X136 light compass gray, FS16375 X121 gloss sea blue, FS15042 X111, olive drab, FS14084 I also used Vallejo and Humbrol colors to paint the smaller details.
