Bjorn Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Those heavily weathered Danes from the mid-seventies are really hard to resist! There are a number of additions, see also the WIP-thread. But in short are they the following: Aires cockpit, Quickboost seat, Eduard photo-etch in the wheel wells, Aires air-brakes, Maestro ladder and fuel tanks and Master pitot tubes. The rest of the additions are scratch-built. Decals are from Stoppel and Maestro. The small practise bombs bombs are scratch-built, based on Atoll missiles from Eduard's 1/144 MiG-21. And scratch-build radar warning recievers: The fin numbers are from Hasegawa's RF-35 kit. The typeface is wrong for that individual, but almost spot on for this earlier style numbers. Thanks for watching! Edited November 21, 2015 by Bjorn 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris148 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 You can't beat a good saab and they don't come a lot better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirageiv Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Wow, it looks spectacular! Excellent job on scratching all the RDAF Draken bits, now I know there are quite a few . The faded paint is almost an unintentional type of 'tiger stripe' camouflage in itself, no wonder they repainted them in gloss. 11/10 on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 This is an exceptional build,well done Bjorn! Somehow I rather like the early Danish kites better than the updated version that came later with the laser noses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Excellent work Bjorn. The worn paintwork and small details finish this one beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhizhou Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Compliments on your fantastic Draken Bjorn. You have done some amazing work and produce a stunning finish again. We need to see more Drakens especially a two seater or two. Regards, Zhizhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Realistic looking Draken: top notch work. I especially like the landing gear and the primer shining through on top of the exhaust area - very smart detail that. Also: your concern about the right typeface: YES!

Bjorn Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thank you all! beautiful! what kind of practice bombs are these? do you have any more info on its pylons? They were used so simulate high drag and low drag live bombs during exercises. I saw them on a picture from a 1977 exercise (in the excellent book about Draken from Nordic Airpower - highly recommended!) I normally do not pay that much attention to bombs and missiles, but these were nice additions as coloured spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
