In 1949 the Swedish Air Force requested Saab to develop a new type of fighter aircraft.
In 1955, the Draken was born, with its unique form and double delta wing.
The J35B, J35D and J35F were improved from the fighter type J35A, and the SK35C, a double-seat trainer type, and the S35E, a photo reconnaissance type, were also produced.
The J35F, the most widely produced of the J35D variants, had its fire control system changed to the high-performance Saab S7B and could carry four Rb.27 (AIM-26B Falcon air-to-air missiles) or Rb.28 (AIM-4C Falcon air-to-air missiles), making it a powerful all-weather interceptor.
● In addition, the J35J was produced as a modernised version of the J35F with increased on-board fuel capacity, additional external hardpoints and modernisation.
The kit is a choice between the J35F and J35J.
The ram air turbine and tailwheel for landing runways are reproduced in the open position.
Three decals are included from the Swedish Air Force aircraft.
Sidewinder and Falcon for mounting on the underside of the main wings are available as optional Aircraft Weapon C America Missile Set (X48-3).
