Airfix Saab Draken 1/72

[Gern]

Ouch! Just checked and all the 1/48 kits are over £50 - to me, that's a lot of money at the moment.

I also checked some of the reviews of the Hasegawa kits. Strange that there are two points of view. One group of reviewers are saying the kits are easy and make excellent builds. The other group complains about ill-fitting parts and steps on some of the major joints. Maybe there are time issues with the moulds or something.

Anyway, I'll have to knock this on the head for now. I don't have either the purse or the skills to cope .....

Gern, Revell Germany have re boxed the 1/72 Hasegawa kit a couple of times (eg kit #04352) which is quite a bit cheaper than the Hasegawa boxing. Also Hasegawa have released dual boxings with 2 kits in a box for a reasonable cost.

This one takes me back. Even at a young age the shape really caught my eye. Great model Mike.

Stunning build. one quick question - the pilot figure did it come with the kit, as he looks like he doesn't appear to have a face mask, could be my eye sight (again). doesn't detract though from a fantastic model. Nice one.

Thanks guys (and thanks for resurrecting this thread, Fishpot11!)

Cheers Steve, it is the kit pilot, yes: he has a visor but it's raised, so probably not correct for an in-flight model. Never gave it a thought

Well another fan here! That is lovely. Do like a good saab. Have you seen the new Viggen in 1/48. Love those in Swedish splinter...

Great build.
