Fox One Design 1/144 Saab SK37 Vigen.
This fighter aircraft was developed as a successor to the Saab 35 Draken and made its first flight in 1967.
It was produced between 1970 and 1990 and operated exclusively by the Swedish Air Force.
As a solution to the Draken's problems of poor flight stability and exhaust damage to the road pavement during take-off from temporary runways such as motorways (i.e. high angle of attack), the aircraft adopted a revolutionary design for its time by attaching canards (front wings) to the delta wing.
It is also characterised by its independently developed and equipped thrust reverser, which enables rapid braking with a landing run of approximately 500 m.
The SK37 is a double-seat trainer type.
The delta wing with canard, combined with the thick fuselage, gives the SK37 the characteristic Bigen outline.
Thrust reversers are selectable open or closed.
*Kit is made of UV resin (3D printed). Instant adhesive is required for assembly. Some parts require shaping of the support material. If there are chips on the parts, they will need to be repaired with putty, etc.
Use a neutral detergent to clean the parts. Cleaning with acetone etc. may erode the parts.
