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

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 Comments

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 [...]

by Roland Sachsenhofer on December 4, 2019 · in Aviation — 17 Comments

The meaning of the type designation "Safir" should appear to me in the course of this project more and more suitable for this small model. Translated from Swedish it means "sapphire", so I learned to appreciate the [...]
