SAAB J35 Draken Swedish 10 Wing, 2 Squadron commemorative
Posted: Sat Oct 22, 2022 8:36 pmThis is the Hasegawa 1/72 special schemes limited edition boxing of the Swedish retirement schemes for Wing 10. This is 2 Squadrons aircraft, it also comes with the yellow scheme which is 3 Squadrons aircraft.
Fit is ok, although the forward fuselage and the aft burner can sections require some attention. Careful sanding will lessen the amount of filling and sanding required. Other than that, the kit is very nice. Decals are good, although I did manage to slightly damage one so be careful getting them around the fuselage curves. Gloss blue was used with a coat of future to keep things glossy and no weathering was applied as these aircraft looked very clean. I decided not to mount the drop tanks, but you do get them, along with a set of sidewinder pylons and launch rails if you wish to put them on, but I don't think these aircraft used them while in these colours. As far as I am aware, this aircraft still exists in the Swedish AF museum.
