Hi,

With another Cobra Warrior looming I decided to get on with this previous ACMI participant, Austrian Air Force J-35OE Draken. Finished as No.12, of 1 Staffel, Zeltweg, and attempted to make look like how it appeared in 1997 at RAF Waddington for the exercises. Theres was no missiles or correct stores for this kit so i found a RB24 and created something looking vaguely like an ECM pod!!!

Airbrushed using Mr Color Acrylics, with flory and Mig Ammo washes.

Pitot tube was from Master (painted rather than decal)

Decals are combination of the boxed Hase ones and the numbers are from Brent Air Decals, after a lot of searching!!! Those are on quite thick film, but i wanted a bog standard frame rather than one of the specials (this was supposed to be the red one).

I feel the wing numbers aren't quite as day-glo as i remember.......

Kit went together quite nicely, any defects were my doing rather than its!!!
