Excellent! If I was Swedish and I have a jet plane taking off from my road, I would be very concerned about the fighter jet shattering my windows when it goes full throttle to take off! 😂😂 After that, I had to smell the fumes. Thanks for uploading another great video. 😊😊
Thank you... In quite a few places, as you drive along the roads in Sweden (or in this case Finland) the roads suddenly become a lot wider and very straight for several hundred meters / yards.. and you can see hardstands and fuel drums 'hidden' at the sides.. so all of a sudden you are no longer driving on a road, but a runway.. for a while, until it becomes a road again. Some of them are very open, others more hidden. I always found it very interesting.. As for the Drakens taking off, I do remember the windows rattling quite loudly in the barracks on Tuesday nights, when they practised night flying.. and we tried to sleep.. ;) So yes, you would be right to be concerned.. ;)
Nice video with nice sequences for the Draken, Rob. Your result speaks for himself. Greatful Draken. You did a good job. Best wishes and all the best for the coming year, Rob. Joachim
Thank you, it is my favourite jet aircraft and probably my favourite aircraft all round.. but I grew up with them flying over the house in Sweden and have had a great liking for them ever since.. :)
Nice build! I'm planning on doing one Hobby 2000 Draken myself. I was going for the 35FS Draken Finnish Air Force build, but the parcel delivery didn't go as planned, and now I have a damaged box. The sprues are fine, but the decal sheet's got water damage to it. Fingers crossed the decals are still salvageable :)
The draken turned out really nice. I have a bunch of jets and planes, I really need to get back to building. Just not feeling it at the moment. What’s next on your bench?
Thank you... My modelling mojo is also a bit low at the moment, but I have started the old Heller F-86 Sabre, and it's about half way done. But it won't get finished this year, as my building speed is slow right now.. :)
In my opinion the Hasegawa kits, both in 1/72 and 1/48 are the best on the market. Unfortunately they don't come cheap, at least not if you live in the UK. Having said that, the HOBBY 2000 kits are reboxed Hasegawa in 1/72 scale and are more resonably priced. Depending what box you buy, you can build a Swedish, Austrian or Finish Draken.. so yes, Hasegawa original kits or Hobby 2000, that would be my recommendation. Revell also reboxed the Hasegawa kit a few years ago now, but that box is getting very hard to come by now and the price is accordingly, although it was very reasonably priced when first issued. Just beware that Revell also have an older Draen kit on the market, which is a very poor kit and best avoided..
I have found the hobby 2000 kit on the net for around £21.00 ish so will order one soon I also found one by mistercraft that is very cheap have you ever tried it how many darkens do you have in your collection and thanks for your time Rob 👍
Excelente muito bom 👍
Loved the opening scenes. That's another great-looking Draken!
Thank you.. and yes, I thought the opening scenes added a bit of depth to the build and the finished model.. :)
Great video of the Finnish airforce and great model too.
Thank you... I thought those video clips added a bit of interest, to see the real things and not just the model.. :)

@@BasicModelling another fantasic result Rob...well done,sir.👍👍👍
@@BasicModelling another cracking result Rob👍👍👍
Really nice! One of my favorites!
Thank you... I'm surprised I only did three Drakens this year, hopefully I'll get a few more done in 2023.. Can't have too many!! :)
Lovely Draken 👍
Thank you.. The third one I did this year.. and also my last model for 2022.. :)
Nice video with nice sequences for the Draken, Rob. Your result speaks for himself. Greatful Draken. You did a good job.

Nice build Rob. The Draken is not an aircraft that I am familiar with but certainly a formidable looking machine.

I hope so... 🫰🤞🫰
Love these.
Top job! 👍
Nice job! Are you using airbrush or it that painted with brushes? looks really nice
Thank you... I don't own an airbrush, so have to make do with the hairy stick..

Ännu en snygg Draken till samlingen Robert 🙂👍 Hoppas du haft en trevlig jul!🎄🎆 och god fortsättning
Amazing aircraft what do you think is the best kit of it i would like to build one myself 👍
