_alfisti_ Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Hi there. Just finished another swedish jet a few days ago. It´s a conversion from Hasegawas J35F to a S35E using a lot of Maestro Models nice stuff. I used etched parts for the cockpit, a new nose and extra fuel tanks, a KB pod, the RWR pods under the wings and the complete tailcone. From Pavla came a new vacu formed canopy, from Pilot Replicas the pilot and from Hasegawa the ground crew member. The ladder is also an etches part from Maestro.

Could you describe please how you did it? The base was painted with indoor dispersion and strewed with milled salt. Caused by the humidity of the paint the salt clumped and gave the irregular look of the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Drakkens were such cool looking aircraft. Your scene really captures it's odd and very awesome lines. Love the figures you added! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirageiv Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) A rare subject to see in model form and what a superb result! The snow diorama base sets off the scene perfectly, really well done. David Edited October 14, 2019 by mirageiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hello there, What can I add to all the comments above. Small but very impressive and realistic dio, that shows the harsh conditions under witch the Swedish Air Force has to operate.

_alfisti_ Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thank you all guys. I´m really glad the base came out this good and let some of you feel the swedish winter.

No guns, it´s a Spaningsdraken, there were two cameras instead of the guns.😉 Regards Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightpainter Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This aircraft has always been one of my favourites and you made a superb model! Very good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Excellent work! Just one thing, the metal, leading edges do not follow that panel line, it is not triangular shaped, if you know what I mean, but follows the leading edge the same all the way. Minor thing and i would leave it, but for the next one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
