Saab J-29 Tunnan Matchbox 1/72


Recommended Posts

Very neat and authentic looking UN camouflage on this ambitious Flying Barrel!

 

In reality, though, individual 29906 wasn't a fighter, but an unarmed photo reconnaissance S 29C. The Matchbox kit represents the later fighter version J 29F, that didn't take part in the Congo conflict. The Tunnan fighters in Congo were the non-afterburning J 29B version, that also lacked the dogtooth wing of the C, E and F versions. The Heller kit, which has yielded the decals, includes parts for an S 29C.

 

Excellent modelling, quite apart from the version mix-up!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
