by Roland Sachsenhofer on March 1, 2024 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

The Saab SK60/Saab 105 occupies a prominent position in the history of aviation. Its very origin as a project for a civilian four-seater business jet gives it a special status. What is particularly interesting, however, is that it was [...]

by Dan Lee on July 9, 2022 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I started this kit in 2016 (and only finished it a week before publishing this article) when I came back to modeling after a 2 year hiatus (due to personal issues.) The kit itself is a short run kit that isn't the easiest to build or [...]

by Scott Nelson on February 5, 2022 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

Here’s my Hasegawa Saab J-35 Draken. I’ve always liked the lines of this aircraft ever since I found and built the old Revell kit when I was a kid. A typically nice Hasegawa kit and because of the design of the aircraft, a pretty easy [...]

1/72 Scale Heller J-29E SAAB Tunnan “Flying Barrel” by Don Weixl June 2020

by Don Weixl on June 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 17 ≡

I have had this kit in my stash since the late 70s! I think it cost about $4.00 Canadian back in the day. Heller’s 1/72 scale aircraft kits were generally really good for that era, although the decals were a bit on the crude side. Raised [...]
