Why this kit matters
The Saab J35 Draken was a distinctive Cold War era jet interceptor developed by Swedish manufacturer SAAB, notable for its innovative double‑delta wing design and high performance. It served with several European air forces, including the Austrian Air Force, which applied unique markings during its service life. The Draken’s sleek profile and historical role make it a compelling subject for scale modelers interested in classic military jets.
Hasegawa’s 1/48 Draken kits are prized by hobbyists for their fine details, well‑engineered parts, and the opportunity they provide to explore aviation history through hands‑on assembly. The Austrian Black Special variant celebrates a retirement scheme from the Austrian Air Force’s 1st Fighter Squadron, adding visual interest and historical context to your collection.
How to use it
Follow the supplied paper instructions to assemble parts with modelling glue and tools. Paint individual components using appropriate hobby paints before applying decals for the commemorative Austrian marking scheme. Careful trimming, sanding, and patience with the decals will enhance the final look. Display your finished aircraft on a shelf or in a dedicated model case.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
