Saab J35Oe Draken as delivered to Austrian Airforce in 1988 1/48 Eduard Special/Hasegawa plastic XXM full length intakes Aires nozzle , flaps Master pitot Decals are a mix of Eduard, Hasegawa, IPMS Austria (none are perfect on its own...) thanks for passing by, if you are interested in more detail, please visit the WIP thread in the excellent Nordic Group Build II and of course its aircraft related gallery so, here we go: officially first Drakens in Austria as delivered in 1988 to Vienna airport model and its original boxing... be aware that if you want the Austrian Draken build as delivered, no MKII modifications! (no chaff and flare dispenser on the rear cone, no RWR fin tip, no Sidewinder capability (was always wing mounted by the way, unlike the Swedish F/J)), and in the very beginning no large dayglow numbers or Squadron markings. I do not know when those were added... and takeoff with a loud bang! thanks for comments, critics, etc! cheers, Werner

Exdraken is going to do a Draken! wow! Surprising myself here. and an Austrian on on top I is going to be the very first one touching down in Vienna Schwechat Airport in 1988 story unfortunately in German: https://www.bundesheer.at/cms/artikel.php?ID=2512 https://www.bundesheer.at/pool/img/draken_1988.jpg those Austrian Draken were actually refurbished Swedish J35D models with the more modern 2 piece canopy from the F/J, but retaining the 2 30mm Aden cannons from the D have a close look: extra fuel tanks usually only seen on Swedisch Recce Draken (as far as I know at least!) no Mk.2 modifications as of yet, I think also no large dayglo numbers (the MK.2 mod essentially where RWR and chaff/ flre dispensers inhereited from retired Danish Drakens in the late 1990s) I am going to use Eduards Limited Edition boxing, because it has all it needs. Maybe I add some additional things later on... a month to go... seems do-able optimism rules!
