Saab 35 Draken STGB Chat


vppelt68

Recommended Posts

This one's for you @trickyrich :coolio:!

a) There has never been one at Britmodeller

b) Drakens were very popular at the recent Nordic GB

c) The earliest date would be in 2022 so at least two years away

d) Why not?

V-P

In!  :rofl2:

 

And I've already got a Hasegawa in the stash...so no purchases required...aside from possibly paints as it's a ways out.

Sign me up. I have 2 of the Revell (ex-Hasegawa) kits:

I also have the ancient Revell 1957 kit, "upgraded" with an extra stores (and nose) sprue. It does at least have an excellent decal sheet with markings for all four operators:

I don't have the Heller kit, and have never built it, more's the pity. I haven't the Airfix kit in the stash either, because I've built all three that I bought over the years. Here's the most recent:

2022 should be manageable V-P, count me in please. 
 

Last I was in Copenhagen I saw a Hesegawa 1/72 RF-35 DRAKEN 'RECON DRAKEN' looking very smart in red with Dannebrog (the Danish flag) on it. I didn’t grab it back then but if the higher Covid-19 powers will allow travelling over the summer, I can hopefully pick it up later this year. 
 

A kind of a Nordic GB III 😉

I had lost count of how many GB proposals I have open, too many obviously :shrug:. Anyhoo, while some of them are better forgotten, some are to be slaughtered in the bunfight and some hopefully not, I still think that the mighty Draken deserves its dedicated single type group build too. So, I give it a BUMP! I myself didn´t even remember this existed :whistle:. V-P

haha.... this is just a cunning plan drawn up by you lot to make me feel guilty and build my mythical Draken!!!!

 

you know it won't work!  :bleh:

 

But just so as to keep you lot happy I guess you'd better add me. Bet I find a way to wiggle my way out of building that one and build something else instead!  :D

Ah ha, sure, good luck finding a kit of that fugly thing! Or are you planning to build the real one in 1/1 scale?

Love how one of the linked videos in the side bar proclaims apparent disappointment that "the SSC Tuatara hit a top speed of just 224mph" :blink2:

That is another world entirely.  I'll just sit over here and be perfectly content w/ my "lowly" Ford Mustang & Escort RS.  :whistle:

Edit: The text below has become obsolete!

(Seriously thinking about canceling this, if the Nordic II should materialize next year. Everybody has there a possibility to build as many Drakens one only wishes and the GB/STGB calendar is already full enough. What would you think about that?)

I say leave it.  If we don't get the votes, then we don't get the votes.  But to me it's not worth forgoing the opportunity to get a non-mainstream (p-51, spitfire, phantom, f-16, bf-109, etc) build into the STGB fray.  Besides, it might be just what someone needs to go and actually pick one up.  ;)

No no nonono NO! Leave it. Please :pray: By the time this has a slot in the STGB schedule we'll be on Nordic IV and a certain someone STILL won't have built his mythical Draken so here's one more chance ;)
