Ivan Ivanovich Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks, guys. Much appreciated. Yes, indeed. It's a real shame the Draken hasn't been tackled in 1/32nd so far. Same for the Viggen and a gazillion of other subjects I'm currently failing to recollect... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 yeah, Saabs are somewhat unique in terms of design approach and there are definitely a big part of my Swedish vocabulary, together with Volvo, Ikea and Borg ( not the star trek one) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Ivanovich Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Although I'm more into Prog-Rock/Hard Rock/Heavy Metal/Prog-Metal/Industrial/Crossover stuff, every then and now, I need a good dose of ABBA. \m/ >_< \m/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lovely build Ivan. I'm with you on a LSP sized Viggen, would love to do one in the splinter camo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCoy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Looking great mate! Yes, a large scale SAAB 35 or 37 would be like a wet dream come true. At least a SAAB 29 is in the making from Fly... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Thanks a bunch! I'd say the Fly Tunnans will be a good start. Numerically. Can't wait to see their J29F being released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Nice job on the Draken, you un-dulled the monochrome paintjob greatly. I've never built one of theese Swedish jets, but have been tempted lots of times. There is clearly an openeing for some new 1/32 material.

I'm not with you with the ABBA thing , but remember a friend driving an old Saab 900 in the eighties and the interior looked like the same design team of the Jets-division did the job. You even had a 'Fasten Seat Belts' sign illuminated on the dash, in a time when lots of people refused to use safety belts at all. The ignition was in the middle console and you had to hope that the key would'nt break, because the SAAB had one of the firs immobilizers on board. Got carried away, but yeah, a decent Tunnan would do it for me, because i'm afraid of the splinter camo of a Viggen. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Very nice looking build. I like the way the panel lines were painted. I have a question, how did you take those pictures? What software did you use to remove the background? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
