She's a beaut, dude. The wear in the giant numbers is a great touch, and I think you dialed it back to the right amount. Normally I don't bother with Saab* stories, but yours was a treat to watch.

*I really need to lay off the puns...

Thank you Lysus :)

It was a fun build but it kind of escalated with all the aftermarket stuff and scratchbuilding... But hey, it's a Draken - so it's worth the extra effort ;)

That looks great man! And really small, not sure how you manage to build that great in that scale.

Thanks Jon, it takes a lot of time and I basically have to do every step using a magnifying glass - but if the kit is good it is fun.

But the paint and the decals fought me all the way, so in this case it took a little bit longer time :)

Super build Tommy . By the way if you are using a magnifying glass can I recommend a set of these, they have changed my modelling. I have the DA5 set. http://www.doneganoptical.com/products/optivisor

Thanks Dave :)

I'll have to check those out... I use a "magnifying lamp" for most of my work, but sometimes I miss the depth vision. I have a cheap headband magnifyer but I seldom use it becase the optics are so crappy.
