Vultures1 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The Hasegawa Draken is one of those kits that is just a joy to build: accurate form, good fit, great surface detailing. This one is augmented with Eduard J-35 Draken details (mainly cockpit and wheel wells) and masks. The downside with Hasegawa kits of this era are the decals: thick, with the white rendered in ivory and the Draken is no exception. I had been planning to build this as an Austrian J-35O (with an IPMS Austria decal sheet) until I picked up the Flying Colors Aerodecals J-35F/J decals. This sheet is a big improvement on the kit decals and enabled me to build this as a J-35F2 in the original Swedish camouflage colours, which look good to me. The Rb28 (Hughes AIM-4D) missiles are from a Hasegawa weapons set. I know the trailing edge control surfaces should be angled slightly down but I can live with it and I’m happy with the overall result. Chris PS The khaki green looks a lot browner in these photos than it does in real life, even though they were taken in natural light! 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Well, it certainly gets my thumbs up! Cracking Draken, it looks great to my eye, and certainly in the best scheme to grace the Draken too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djos Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Beautiful Draken. Weathering is excellent, just leveled as it should be, not to much but enough to visually make this beauty even more interesting. Great job. Regards Djordje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
