flarpen Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 10 hours ago, Mike Esposito said: Has any one built this? Is there a build review? ย Heard detail is lacking for such an expense kit.ย I'm building one right now. It's a short run kit and as such the quality isn't at an Eduard standard obviously. The details are soft, missing and in many cases wrong and the fit of the parts is not great. is it overprized for what you get, probably yes. BUT and that's a big but, it's the only way to build a SAAB 17 in 1/48 scale unless you want to scratch build one. And with a bit o TLCย it can be made into a good looking replica of the real deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there are numerous images and videos of this strangely unique dive brake undercarriage, so I won't search for my own. To me it seems strange that it is unique (is it?). You would think that such a brilliant solution would become standard. ย ย Strangely elegant and beautiful, in an ungainly way. ย Dive brakes are also the front undercarriage fairings.ย ย It's a Transformer!! ย .

Torbjorn Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Braking by undercarriange during dive bombing was used with e.g. the Vindicator, but I havenโt seen any other types actually designed for it. Designated dive brakes seems a bit more.. controllable and wonโt give innecessary drag while not braking. Dive bombing fell out of fashion shortly after anyhow.
