Whofan Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Looking forward to seeing how this goes, I've got the Airfix 1/72 Tunnan to add to my Austrian collection! My wife is Austrian, and I remember on one of our first visits after we were married we saw a pair of Drakens flying along the Drau valley from her uncle's balcony - below our level! Since then we've seen Eurofighters, and a variety of helicopters flying through the valley, but not a Tunnan.

Schöne Grüße an deine Frau! Danke Vielmals für diene Grüße! As soon as I posted the comment I knew I'd put Drakens instead of Viggens! Now corrected.

Reini78 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 The lower front part is slightly wider than the upper part, so my dad used a toothpic piece to spread the upper part and get a nice alignement.
