Naval Draken

[anthonyp]

Here's a 1/72 navalised Draken modified for naval operations aboard Sweden's light carriers (I figure two of them, in use for a long time).  I don't remember what type of Draken this is, other than it went together really easily.  I modified the nose gear to be tandem wheeled, and I figure the rear tiny landing gear there to keep the tail off the ground was modified to have a tailhook placed there.

This plane would eventually be replaced by the Navalised Viggen in the early-80's.

how can you NOT love this guy?

my hat is off to you sir - not only a great plane, but a great what-if idea, excellently executed!

Oh dear, I think I've wet myself.

Extra cool

Loving it!  I seldom have the guts to flip a model on its back but your ventral views are sure worth it!
