1/48 S35E/RF-35 Draken “Reconnaissance”

Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

Limited reissue of the Hasegawa 1/48-scale Draken kit with new parts to enable it to be built as either a Swedish S35E (early or late) or a Danish RF-35. Both are reconnaissance types. Decals are given to mark the kit as: S35E early-type “59” of F11 (new nose, canopy and camera window parts included); S35E late-type “53” of F21 (new nose and camera windows as “early-type,” and canopy is same as previous J35 release); and RF-35s “AR-108,” “AR-111” and “AR-113” of 729 Sq. (new nose, instrument panel, camera window and droptank parts included). Other parts that differ between the versions are the wingtips, tailcones, wheels, vertical stabilizer tip, pilot’s sight, and some antennas–all of which are covered here, so pay attention when assembling! See box art for marking details.
