I'm glad this kit is coming for those who model in 1/32...but how about downsizing it to 1/48? Been waiting/hoping for a UN-marked J-29 for years now...had hoped Pilot Replicas would be on the case but, alas, that's apparently not going to happen. So you get a for all the lucky 1/32 scale modellers out there...but a for me personally (PLEASE will someone release this version of the Tunnan in 1/48 that doesn't require major nasal surgery to look like a J-29).

Rudolf_Filip Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) That is a J 29F wing... I thought that the J 29B version would be released first. Not that it matters since I really want a Tunnan in that big, lovely scale... 😀 Edited January 22, 2018 by Rudolf_Filip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the J 29F version with the dogtooth wing and afterburner Engine. The box art for the Congo tunnan is the J 29B version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 And a bit funny is that this individual was from F 9 wing in Gothenburg on the Swedish West Coast where both snow and mountains are far, far away. But who cares? A Tunnan in 1/32 is always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largescale32 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Met Mirek O., HpH, yesterday, he told me that there is still progress on the Tunnan, unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largescale32 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I took hundreds of pics from a Tunnan for FLY Models. This was in September 2016. Time really is running. Glad to see that this kit will be released soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The spine kink looks appropriate I hope the nose/canopy area also.is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 And it seems that FLY got the underbelly profile right as well – dead straight, no gentle curves there: Please note that the bottom of the engine cover is also straight in profile, with only the afterburner cover being (maybe) slightly curved at the joint with the engine cover. This aspect of the utilitarian design of the Flting Barrel has often been misunderstood by draughtsmen (including Saab's own!) and kit mould designers. By cross-kitting the afterburning F (Filip) wings with the dogtooth with the non-afterburning B (Bertil) version, it should be possible to make an E (Erik) but above all an S 29C camera carrying reconnaissance version – if sombody can come up with a camera nose. Maybe Maestro Models? The S 29C played a crucial role in Sweden's low-level mapping of Warzaw Pact harbours and missile bases in top secret photo ops in the early autumn of 1958. The Recce Barrel also had a critical part in the success of the Swedish F 22 UN operations during the Congo war in 1962. So, a camera nose? Somebody, please?
