Harold55 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Here is my latest completed built, the Hasegawa kit #09837 of the Draken (Dragon) J-35J. The kit comes with lovely decals to build one of two special marking aircraft so I chose this one as it kept the underlying camo scheme. This is a great kit that goes together with a minimum of fuss. 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelMonkey Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Gorgeous! The Drakken is one of those aircraft that still looks futuristic 60 years later. Lovely scheme and nice to still keep the camo. Edited April 18, 2021 by ModelMonkey Typo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Beautiful J 35J Draken of the F 10 fighter wing in Ängelholm! The pristine original style camo really suits it and enhances the character of this Mach 2 fighter. A minor detail: the air inlets aren't metal but fibreglass plastic… Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But very good for anyone else reading this to take note of it. The directions call for Burnt Iron and Steel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieW Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lovely build, I always had a soft spot for the Draken since getting a 1/72 kit for Christmas probably 50 years ago. Mine didn't look much this fantastic model though. Congratulations on a very fine job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 A beautiful build and I'm very pleased to hear the kit builds so easily. Many thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solvent Parrot Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Lovely. Incredible looking aircraft given it was out of production even before I was born. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh G Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 great stuff; might have to invest in one. I understand they used to intercept and shadow Soviet Bear flights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they used to intercept and shadow Soviet Bear flights They certainly did! Of interest is this is the first aircraft that could perform the Cobra maneuver which the Soviets/Russians made famous at airshows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is good to know, I've got an Eduard boxing getting very close to the top of the to-do pile! Cracking Draken Harold! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
