SAAB Draken lives on...

Ooh, sexy.

That's one sweet little bird you got there!

Those canards are waaay cool, Trip 7 and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only one who thinks those SAAF markings are a perfect match!

Very nice update to an already cool bird! I like the fact that the modifications really change the look quite a bit but it's still regognizable as a Draken, Excellent work

Thanks for all the nice comments! As a reward, here are 2 more shots:





PS: It is not an old kit recycled, but a new kit that i messed up while building and thus converted to this

That's a looker and very credible - well done!

Sweet!

Oh that looks so right!!!!

It looks like a sky ray that has been on the roids!

Nice recycling of an old kit

Yes, I agree, and I should do something like that with my Heller Draken too. I will try to find ideas. A T-tail?

Yes, yes! You need to get back to modeling something whiffy soon, Tophe! May i suggest twin-tail? 2x F-16 tails? Or a single? Could also be made into a rocket fighter, by fairing the air intakes into the fuselage...

Sorry, this one will not be such a big transformation, because... this Danish Draken is the best paint-work I did in all my life (at 15 y.o., 1979, maybe you were not born). I can add something but not do all again with putty and paint, the way you did so well, sorry.

The force is strong with me? Yay!

Mmmm, Danish Draken! If you start a thread in this forum, with photos, perhaps we can help you with some easy and light mods? Could be a simple avionics upgrade, but that would allow for a huge increase in weapons choices

I missed this one too, sorry.  That thing is perfect in the SAAF markings.  While looking at the build photos,  I was thinking, "semi-conformal fuel tanks, F-16 style), but that can be a thought for another day. . .

Great build!

Just spotted this, lovely work Thomas!  The canards add to the looks of the Draken, I reckon the Super Dragon would be quite a maneouverable little girl.
