Vulcanicity Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's a gorgeous Draken, I particularly like the NMF I was very happy to see the two-seat version displaying at Waddington this year-what a shape and saound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Outstanding model!! I didn't know they once were in NMF, so now I want to build a Draken!!! Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarpen Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Fabulous build. Love the Draken, my favorite aircraft. You have done a great job on the NMF. I would like to see more of how you redid the bang seat. Also, what blue color did you use for the fin? /Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanDid Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Fabulous build. Love the Draken, my favorite aircraft. You have done a great job on the NMF. I would like to see more of how you redid the bang seat. Also, what blue color did you use for the fin? /Johan Unfortunately I never took any WIP pictures of this build. But what I did was simply to scratch build a new seat using plastic card using the original seat as model. I cut out and re-used parts as for example the head rest. I also did some extra detailing to the rear of the cockpit as it is quite simple in the kit. I actually used the surface from the (cut out and replaced) wheel bay as back part to simulate the riveting. The Tail was painted with a mix of Gunze H35 trying to match the color of the National Insignias by mixing in H15. Have no idea of any percentage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanDid Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Outstanding model!! I didn't know they once were in NMF, so now I want to build a Draken!!! Jeffrey Go ahead The Hasegawa is really a nice kit and there are loads of after market parts and decals out there if you really want to go broke. Some of the 'Limited Edition Special Paint' kits form Hasegawa can be found at reduced pricing on the net. Some of the J35A and B versions were NMF in the early days and all of the J35C (also the Finnish Air Force ones). I think Maestro Models has a complete conversion kit for the C-version version. For a green one I can recommend using either TwoBobs decals or RDBstudio yellow generic number and wing decals if you want to go out of the box for a Swedish one decal wise. I would be cool to see a few J35D in the future as Hasegawa never released that variant. Quite an easy back date though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavDoc Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 A pleasant surprise -- really like your work - nicely done natural metal finish !! Saw one of these in an aviation museum in Germany and was struck with how attractive the Draken is-- and was impressed with how small it is -- especially sitting next to an F-4 Phantom!!
