Finnish Air Force Saab 35S Draken (HävLLv 11) -Hasegawa 1/48

Post by planemaker »

Greetings! Oh well, I am late to the party as usual, but I had to finish my previous build before I started this one.
I decided to go for this kit for Homeland GB. I think it was a great choise. Since no other finnish members probably won't participate in this GB,
I will try my best on this one. :D


History of the Saab Draken

The Saab 35 Draken was a Swedish fighter aircraft manufactured by Saab between 1955 and 1974. The Draken was built to replace the Saab J 29 Tunnan and, later, the fighter variant (J 32B) of the Saab 32 Lansen. The indigenous J 35 was an effective supersonic Cold War fighter that was also successfully exported to Austria, Denmark, Finland, and to the United States as a test pilot training aircraft.

Design and development

As the jet era started, Sweden foresaw the need for a jet fighter that could intercept bombers at high altitude and also successfully engage fighters. Although other interceptors such as the US Air Force's F-104 Starfighter were being conceived during the same period, Saab's "Draken" would have to undertake a combat role unique to Sweden. Other demanding requirements were the capability to operate from reinforced public roads used as part of wartime airbases, and for refuelling/rearming to be carried out in no more than ten minutes, by conscripts with minimal training. In September 1949, the Swedish Defence Material Administration issued a request for a fighter/interceptor aircraft, and work began at Saab the same year.

Draken's design incorporated a distinctive "double-delta" configuration, with one delta wing within another larger delta. The inner wing has an 80° angle for high speed performance, while the outer 60° wing gives good performance at low speeds. Propulsion was provided by a single Svenska Flygmotor RM 6B/C turbojet (Rolls-Royce Avon 200/300). A ram turbine, under the nose, provided emergency power, and the engine had a built-in emergency starter unit. The Draken could deploy a drag parachute to reduce its landing distance.

The double-delta shape was so revolutionary that it warranted the only sub-scale test aircraft built in Sweden: the Saab 210, unofficially nicknamed "Lilldraken" (the little kite). The Saab 210 tested the concept of the double delta, first flying on 21 January 1952. The 210's successful testing results led to an order for three full-size Draken prototypes. The first prototype, not fitted with an afterburner, made its maiden flight on 25 October 1955. The second prototype, equipped with an afterburner, unintentionally broke the sound barrier on its first flight while climbing.

Operational history

Although the J 35 Draken was not designed to be a dog-fighter, it proved to have a good quick-turn capability and was a capable fighter plane. It entered service with the Swedish Air Force in 1960. A total of 651 Saab Drakens were manufactured. Sweden's fleet of Drakens came in six different versions, and two other models of the Draken were offered for export. The early models were intended purely for air defense. The last model built was the J 35F, the final version to remain in Swedish service. These aircraft were retired in the 1990s and replaced by the Saab JAS 39 Gripen.

The J 35 Draken design underwent several upgrades. The last was the J 35J version, made in the late 1980s, although by then, the Draken had been almost replaced by the Saab 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force. The J 35J was a service-life extension program because the delivery of the new Saab JAS 39 Gripen was suffering delays. The extension program was intended to keep the Draken flying into the 2000s, but due to cutbacks and high maintenance costs, the Draken was eventually phased out of service. The Swedish Drakens were officially retired in December 1998, although the aircraft remained in limited numbers in both military and civilian roles. Its export customers included Denmark and Finland. In 1985, the Austrian Air Force purchased 24 J 35Ds reconditioned by Saab, re-designated the J 35Ö.

All Drakens are interceptors with limited air-to-ground capability, with the sole exception of the Danish Drakens, which are strike aircraft capable of carrying AGM-12 Bullpup missiles, electronic countermeasures, and increased internal and external fuel storage. The Danish Drakens are so far the heaviest of the series to have flown. Danish J 35 aircraft were retired in 1993.

Finland updated its 35XS fleet with new avionics, cockpit displays, navigational/attack systems, and electronic countermeasures during the 1990s, but these were finally retired in 2000 to be replaced by F/A-18 Hornets.

Austria was the last country to keep the Draken in military service. The Austrian Air Force bought refurbished J 35Ds. This was the last Austrian Air Force fighter plane with internal cannons for their lone air-to-air armament because of the restriction in the Austrian State Treaty of 1955. This forbade their carrying air-to-air missiles. This restriction was dropped in 1993 because of violations from the nearby Yugoslavian air combat services. American AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles were purchased. These Drakens were retired in 2005, when they were replaced by former Swiss Air Force F-5 Tiger IIs, while waiting for new Eurofighters.

In the United States, the National Test Pilot School (NTPS) owns six Drakens that were formerly in Danish service; of these, two TF-35XD s and one RF-35XD are operational, based at the Mojave Spaceport.

Variants

J 35A -Fighter version, total production: 90. The J 35As were delivered between 1959 and 1961. The tail section was lengthened after the 66th aircraft to house a new afterburner for additional thrust, the longer tail cone unexpectedly reduced drag. This forced the installation of a retractable tail-wheel. The two versions were nicknamed Adam kort (Adam short) and Adam lång (Adam long). The Adam was fitted with a French Cyrano Radar PS-02 (same as on the Mirage III) as the Swedish radar hadn't been developed in time.

J 35B -Fighter version, built and delivered between 1962 and 1963, total production: 73. This variant had improved radar and gun sights, and was also fully integrated into the Swedish STRIL 60 system; a combat guidance and air surveillance system. Fitted with a Swedish built radar PS-03.

SK 35C -25 J 35As with short tail sections rebuilt into a twin-seated trainer version. The minor modification meant that the aircraft could easily be converted back to a J 35A standard if necessary. The trainer version lacked armament.

J 35D -Fighter version, delivered between 1963 and 1964, total production: 120. The aircraft had a new and more powerful Rolls-Royce Avon 300 (RM 6C), which could deliver 77.3 kN thrust when using its afterburner. This was also the fastest Draken version, capable of accelerating until out of fuel. It was also the last Draken to carry two cannons.

S 35E -Reconnaissance version, total production: 60. The radar and the armament had been removed and several cameras (of ortho and oblique types) fitted. The aircraft was unarmed but was fitted with a countermeasure system to increase its survivability. A total of 28 aircraft were re-built J 35Ds.

J 35F -Fighter version, delivered between 1965 and 1972, total production: 230. This variant had improved electronics and avionics, e.g. integrated radar, aim and missile systems. The aircraft's main armament were IR and SARH versions of the Hughes Falcon missile originally intended for the J 35D, but one of the cannon was removed to make space for more avionics. The J 35F2 was a J 35F, produced with a Hughes Aircraft Company N71 infrared sensor, a so-called Infra-red search and track. This was a change in the production line from the no. 35501 airframe. The Hawé mods I & II where carried out on the P/S-01/011 radar sets in the early 80's to improve ressistance to ECM.

J 35J -In 1985 the Swedish government decided to modify 54 J 35F2s to J 35J standard. In 1987, 12 more modifications were ordered. Between 1987 and 1991, the aircraft were given a longer lifespan, more modern electronics, a modernized cannon, an additional two Sidewinder (AIM-9P) pylons under the air intakes and increased fuel capacity. The final operative J 35J flew for the last time in 1999.

Saab 35XD -Danish export versions: F-35 single-seat strike aircraft, TF-35 two-seat trainer and RF-35 reconnaissance aircraft. The type was heavily modified to make it into a strike aircraft; compared to the Swedish versions the outer wings where completely redesigned, and the radar was missing. These aircraft could carry heavy bombs as well as Bullpup missiles, during the WDNS upgrade of the 1980s they received the ALQ-162 jammer, a Marconi 900 Series HUD and a Ferranti LRMTS (laser rangefinder and marked target seeker)

Saab 35XS -Fighter version for the Finnish Air Force; built by Saab and assembled under licence by Valmet in Finland.

Saab 35BS -Used J 35Bs sold to Finland.

Saab 35FS -Used J 35F1s sold to Finland.

Saab 35CS -Used SK 35Cs sold to Finland.

Saab 35Ö -In the mid-1980s, Saab re-purchased 24 J 35D aircraft from the Swedish Air Force and converted them into the J 35Ö version (also called J 35OE in English literature) for export to Austria. Austria bought AIM-9P5 all aspect sidewinders for these aircraft during the war in former Yugoslavia.

The Kit

I went for the Hasegawa kit as it is the best Draken kit out there. The kit I am using is the Swedish version and has
got Swedish decals. Although there are finnish versions available they are very hard to find.
So I buoght an aftermarket decal sheet instead and an interior photo-etch fret for the finnish version.

So, without more to say, let's have a look.

YES! :banana:

I think we have a full house - of Swedish designed jets in this GB! :D

**** VERY-VERY-OFF-TOPIC WARNING ****
In the decal sheet of the Hasegawa kit I saw the Ghost squadron logo, which triggered me into sharing this clip about the Koenigsegg factory that moved into the old airbase at F10 Ängelholm and kept a promise to the Ghost squadron that every car they produced in this facility should bear the Ghost logo, because "the show must go on", which where their motto (27 minutes into the clip, at the end - but the 30min clip is worth watching in whole, there is actually a silouette of a Draken for a couple of seconds in the beginning of the clip... :geek:

Back to your build... Great background on the 35!
I'm really looking forward to follow this build - Good Luck! :pop:

I buoght the " Finnish Air Force -Part 1" decal sheet, because I couldn't find a AM decal sheet for the Draken only.
The swastikas are for the Nieuport 23 because the Finnish Air Force insignia was changed in 1945 to the roundel type insignia that's on the Draken.
The other decals are for Brithish Aerospace Hawk and D.H Vampire. :thumb2:

The Lansen is in the GB already, but the 105 is missing (and the J21R) - damn.....

I have the 105 in my stash (horrible 1/72 Marivox kit) but I'm not gonna build that now.

Maybe I should visit a doctor about seeing ghosts in the middle of the night... :eeek:

Good luck with the build, mate! The Hasegawa kit looks fantastic (I might have to get that...hmmm.)

I thought maybe it could be a throwback or celebration type paint scheme. Could look cool. Drakens look great with the modern Finnish rounded anyway.

I don't see that Lansen anywhere, or the I might have to go to the doc too because I have a strange kind of blindness. :whistle:

I would say that the Hasegawa kit is superb, based on some test fitting I have already done. And it has got super chrisp panel line detail too. :)

You're absolutely right about the Lansen - there is nothing wrong with your eyes :) I was thinking of Lee's Tarangus build, but that is of course not part of the Homeland GB. My mind is playing tricks on me :oops:

I was planning to buy one of the Hasegawa J35's in 1/72, but after I compared the pricetag between 1/72 and 1/48 just now, the 1/48 seems much better value for money. I will buy the 1/48 in the near future.

Cheers!

I would say the 1/48 is totally worth the money. Got mine for 39€.
The newer Revell Draken kits in 1/72 are nice too, as built one in the past. I think they are Hasegawa reboxes though, but with a better price.

Update #1

OK, update time folks. The build is progressing steadily at the moment. The kit is proving to be a true shake'n bake kit, so the fit is really good.


Ejection seat assembled and some other cockpit parts to be assembled.
Image


Some PE attatched before painting.
Image


Image


Image


Ready for primer...
Image


Cockpit parts primed.
Image


Image


Here are a few my inspiration pics of the J35F cockpit.
Image


(Finnish version of the J35F cockpit)
Image


Image


Ejection seat and area behind the headrest painted light grey, rest of the cockpit in dark green (FS34079), aluminium and black.
Image


Image


Image


Image


I highlighted the raised areas using dark grey.
Image


The pre-painted PE was totally the wrong colour so I painted on the correct colour using a brush.
Image


Some detail painting. I dry-brushed the headrest using a tan colour to make it look worn.
Image


Image


A tiny bit of dry-brushing.
Image


PE instrument panel assembled.
Image


And more PE...
Image


Image

I used Kristal Klear for the dials.
Image


PE instrument panel attatched.
Image


PE placards attatched to the ejection seat.
Image


Satin coated...
Image


Image


I made a pin-wash using Mig oils.
Image


Image


PE seatbelts attatched and given a matt varnish to make them look more realistic.
Image


Ejection seat mounted to the cockpit tub.
Image


Image


Image


Image


Cockpit tub attatched to the lower fuselage half.
Image


Fuselage halves glued together.
Image


Image


Image


Tape removed and seams sanded.
Image


To be continued...

Wow!

Great job on the cockpit :thumb2: :thumb2:

Cool trick to fix the wrong colour of the PE, I had the same problems with the IPs of my J29 but I didn't have the nerves to repaint them :D

Update #2

Mose progress on the Draken, looking good at the moment. But some fit issues here and there though.


I drilled out holes for the support bars in the cockpit. Hasegawa didn't supply the support bars in the kit, so I had to scratchbuild them instead.
Image


I scratchbuilt the support bars using brass tubes, copper wire and small pieces of tape.
Image


Gunsight painted.
Image


Gunsight attatched. I scratchbuilt some parts according to this photo:

Image

I later replaced the glass of the gunsight to make it look better.
Image


Scratchbuilt support bars attatched.
Image


PE instrument attatched to the support bar.
Image


Image


Support bars painted. Here you can see the replaced glass part of the gunsight.
Image


Image


Image


Some parts for the exhaust nozzle cut out and sanded.
Image


I had to thin down the exhaust nozzle from the outside to make it look more realistic. Here is a comparison:

Before:
Image

After:
Image


I filled some EPMs in the exhaust nozzle using CA.
Image


Exhaust nozzle sanded smooth. A little tip is to use a marker to check for seams or gaps after sanding.
Image


Nosecone glued together and sanded.
Image


I added weights into the nosecone. I used PVA glue and lead fishing weights.
Image


Exhaust nozzle and air intakes ready for basecoat.
Image


Basecoated in Alclad Gloss Black Base.
Image


And then painted in different mixtures of Alclad Gunmetal and Duraluminium.
Image


Image


Image


Image


Image


Exhaust nozzle assembled and given a finishing coat of Alclad.
Image


Image


Image


Image


I scratchbuilt the pitot-tube using stretched sprue.
Image


Rear fuselage part attatched.
Image


Wings attatched. The fit wasn't really good here, so filling and sanding needed.
Image


I filled some gaps here and there using CA. I'm still working on it now. :doh:
Image


I drilled out these small intakes...
Image


... and attatched them to the fuselage.
Image


In the meantime I waited for the CA to dry on the Draken, I started work on a "little" display base.
Never mind the wrong spelling on the board. :ooops:
Image


Image


I'll use abrasive paper to represent the asphalt, since it's got a realistic texture.
Image


Image


I cut out pieces of cardboard to go under the abrasive paper to make a realistic looking seam.
Image

Fantastic job on the cockpit with all the details :thumb2:

I really love the look of the turned off radar CRT - it looks exactly like the real thing :clap: :thumb1:

And the rest of the aircraft is coming along nicely too!

The "Mersu" -Messerschmitt Bf-109 in my avatar is the G-6 version, with the early canopy. I don't know that much more about the pic.

I'm currently on holiday in eastern Finland. On the way there I visited Keskisuomen ilmailumuseo -Finnish Aviation museum at Tikkakoski.
I got some superb snaps of finnish air force aircraft in the museum, including the FAF Draken and a original Mersu Bf-109G and much more.
I got some truly awesome pics of the MiG-21Bis and Saab draken cockpits and ejectionseats,
full landing gear bay details and some other superb details and weathering you will only get to see a few times.
I might do a full walkaround of the MiG-21Bis and Saab 35C Draken (two seater) +cockpits of MiG-21Bis and Saab 35S Draken (single seater),
if anyone is interested. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
...And of course much more awesome pics of other aircraft to come.
I will post the pics after I arrived back home.

PS: Got three more kits from the museum. :whistle:
So, what finnish air force aircraft should I build after my Draken for the GB:

1/48 D.H. Vampire Mk.52
1/72 MiG-21Bis
1/72 Folland Gnat F.1 (That's my birthday present) :shhh:

Whoa Sebastian! :th: I've completely missed this one. Nice progress and great introduction. That cockpit looks smashing! Did you get this kit from Kuivalainen? I'm trying to decide if i should get this one or the smaller scale Revell kit. :scratch::

Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

P.s. I would go for the Vampire! ;)

Yes, I got the kit from Kuivalainen. I built the revell kit a few years ago, it was really nice and had great detail.
It's a Hasegawa rebox but with a better price. :th: I would recommend it if you want a small Draken.

I think the Trumpeter Vampire would be good to do next. It looks like a nice and simple kit, plus I got the aftermarket decals for it already. :banana:

Terkkuja, Sebastian

Update #3

Here are some great pictures form the Draken and other planes, I took at the Finnish Aviation Museum at Tikkakoski:
http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... 49&t=13900

Sorry for a little wait on the Draken, but I was on holiday for a few days so the progress on it became slow.
But not much left now and I'll get some primer on it. Here is the latest work I've done:


First, some more progress on the display base:
I cut out pieces of abrasive paper to the same shape as the cardboard pieces and glued them on to the abrasive paper.
Image

Then I glued the pieces of cardboard and abrasive paper on to the board. Looks good.
Image

Wing tips attatched.
Image

I started some work on the wheel bays. I did some wireing using copperwire and other stuff.
Image

Wheel bays primed.
Image

To get a realistic gap between the control surfaces, I first sawed the gaps out using a super fine razor saw and then put some thin plastic
sheet in the gaps and filled out any uneven areas.
Image

Here is the result: (I will still do some touchups on the gaps.)
Image

I drilled out holes for the pylons on the wings and fuselage.
Image

Wheel bays painted in a natural metal colour. I only used Vallejo MA Aluminium, and did some highlighting of details using light gray.
Image

The thin CA left some bad marks in the plastic, but it'll be hidden by some weathering.
Image

Image

Image

After I applied a gloss coat, I did a pin wash in the wheel bays using oils.
Image

Wash removed.
Image

Image

And then a matte coat to last.
Image

Image

Horisontal stabeliser and fin attatched.
Image

Image

Pylons attatched.
Image

I started some work on the landing gears. Here is the work on the front one:
Image

The L8 part to the front landing gear had gone missing, so I had to scratchbuild it.
Image

Image

Built up and ready for some primer.
Image

Image

Some PE on the main landing gear.
Image

Image

Needed some filling here with CA.
Image

Image

I wonder where this part goes! :lol:
Image

Update #4

-Ok, update time again. Camo is now finished, more painting to do.
_______________

Main landing gears built up.
Image

Well, well, well... I actually found the missing part to the front landing gear later on the floor. :tongue:
So I'll use it anyway.
Image

Image

Some parts ready for primer:
Image

Image

Droptanks assembled.
Image

I had to fill some holes for some finns on the bottom of the fuselage since the finnish drakens didn't have them.
Image

Then I sanded down the ca.
Image

I had to sratchbuilt the mirrors on the canopy because the PE ones where oversized.
I used styreen sheet and aluminium tape.
Image

Image

Canopy masked.
Image

Air intakes attatched.
Image

Windscreen attatched.
Image

More masking...
Image

Image

Primed using Alclad Grey primer.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Canopy painted in interior colour.
Image

Image

I improved the landing lights using some aluminium tape and Pattex glue.
Image

Areas of natural metal masked up.
Image

Pre-shaded using AKAN black.
Image

Image

Underside painted using my own mix. I did some post-shading on it using a slightly darkend mix.
Image

Then the lighter camo colour. I used VMA RLM-2 and did some panel-fading using a lightend mix.
Image

To last I free-handed the dark grey. I used VMA RLM-74 and did some panel-fading on this too.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out. :)

Colours used:

The camo is looking perfect! Great job Sebastian! :th:

Btw. is that a marker that you are using to highlight possible seam lines?
