Thanks for your response Erik, Spiros, Morne and George! Great to be embarking on another group build effort. In answer to your question, Erik, this kit I have is the Swedish Air Force version. I plan to do a well worn three color camo for this one as a Swedish Draken. I have a Two Bobs decal set for the F10 Wing in Angelholm. I really like the yellow swordfish emblem on the wings over the camouflage scheme. I am wavering a bit, though as I also like the big number versions of operational types. For a regular service version, I have the kit decals. I'm not sure of their quality.
I may well do a Danish Draken or a Finnish one with a second kit I have in my stash. I have always liked the dramatically weathered pain on well used Danish Drakens and it would be quite a painting challenge. On the other hand, I am also keen on the Finnish version. I don't have decals for either yet, though, so we will see.
I really appreciate everyone's kind comments on the build so far. The modifications were a bit nerve wracking to do as I find hacking off bits of models can lead to loss of detail. Luckily, no problem here as Hasegawa's plastic was soft and thin. No need for a razor saw. I did have to build up some sections again with sheet styrene but it all worked out.
