Eduard/Hasegawa 1/48 SAAB Draken

One of my favourite aircraft, the Draken, still looks like it’s from the future. This was an Eduard boxing.

Absolutely gorgeous lines on this aircraft! I was surprised to learn that Draken entered service 65 years ago. Was there a particular point in time in its 39 year service you were trying to capture? Beautiful piece of modelling :grinning:

Very nicely done, fantastic finish. I have been looking at the 1/48 Austrian version for a while now.

That’s a good looking Draken. I remember building one when I was a kid, perhaps a Revell kit, but have never even seen one in my adult modeling years.

Excellent work! Are there any awards associated with your build? It looks fantastic!

Wow! That Draken looks fantastic! Your camo scheme and panel line shading turned out fabulous. Those Delta winged aircraft are just so sleek looking. The local airport had a Draken sitting on its lot for the longest time years ago. I wish that I would’ve taken photos of it.

No particular time, just worked with the scheme in the boxing, I can’t remember the year of service for the scheme.

Thanks Gary, I did this for a magazine several years a go, but I did not enter it in a show.
