MarkSH Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Afternoon all, Here is another entry into the Nordic themed Group Build, in the shape of the Hasegawa 1/48 J35 Draken built as F-2 '06' of Swedish Air Force Div3/F10. Mostly out of the box with the addition of some Eduard PE seat belts and some Aires Control surfaces. I have used Vallejo Model Air for the top surface colours modified with an oil paint filter and Tamiya underneath with a plain 'dirty' wash. Overall an enjoyable build, but the rear fuselage join is,whilst agreeing that there should be a change in surface continuity is not too clever at all. That being said quite pleased with the paint effects and it should look good displayed next to the recently completed Viggen for the same Group Build. The build thread is here: As always comments and observations welcome, thanks for looking. Cheers, Mark. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Excellent work Mark! Those extras really bring this model into life and were therefore well worth the effort. I like especially the cockpit. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Topalov Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi Mark, Great model of a very cool looking bird! I love the hues of the camo scheme and how they turned out. One observation from my very limited experience - I think that the pre-shading could have been slightly more subtle, but it might be just in the photos so I might be wrong on that one. This is of course just my opinion. Again, well done! Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Very nice model; congrats! I have one in my stash and you just triggered "my Draken rush". Can you please tell me what Model Air paints have you used for the upper cammo? Regards, Mack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Mack @mack, for the top camo colours I used Model air71.292 US Loam and 71.295 USN Sea Blue, however bear in mind that both have been modified by the application of the oil paint filter and if I'm being honest I think the green is perhaps a little too green and should have a hint more brown to it.
