Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi - it's finished! Kit decals used to model 21394 Red M of F12 wing Flyvapnet, Kalmar in the early 1950s. How long have I wanted a 1/48th model of this aircraft? Too long! The build log is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234987096-pilot-replicas-saab-j-21a-3-148th-scale-twin-boom-pusher/ Hope you like her, as usual all comments welcome. Cheers Jonners 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Superb build and WIP serve as de rigeur guides for builders of the Pilot Replicas J 21! Who would've thought, say, ten years ago that we'd get an almost-Tamiya quality quarter scale kit of this comparatively obscure and not that successful Swedish fighter? One observation: the tube dimensions of the boarding ladder provided in the kit look decidedly oversize, making for a clumsy impression. Compare the excellent J 21 shot on Mikael Forslund's photo page (about two thirds down the page): http://mikaelforslundproduktion.com/flygbilden/and you'll see that a more in-scale replacement would be a good project for an aftermarket producer, or an ambitious scratch builder… Slick modelling!

eclarson Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Jon, I don't know how I missed seeing your completed J21 for so long. I wondered why there weren't any more entries in your WIP thread! Anyway, great job! Do my eyes deceive me or were you able to use the internal photo-etched frames on the canopy hatches? My attempt to use them nearly ended in disaster so I left them off. Cheers, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( it was far safer). Cheers mate - are you going to build the J29? ( I think I may know the answer!) Jonners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate - are you going to build the J29? ( I think I may know the answer!) Jonners Hehe...I did the same using a few bits of wire and pieces snipped from the etch runners. I was able to use the mirror piece though. Oh yes, the J29 is on my list. When I build it is another story. :-) I hope they eventually do a 1/48 J21R too.

Bjorn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Great build! Colours is spot on and detailing is really great. I also like that you have avoided exaggerating the panel lines, they were almost invisible om J 21. Thumbs up! For those that still is interested in a dark wash on this ons, watch this first: Thanks for the tip regarding the internal etch framework, I have had my doubt about this. Really inspiring, I have to start mine soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
