The phantom squadron (the red tail markings) were stationed in a now defunct airbase. At the decommission that squadron was also decommissioned. Now that base is owned by Koenigsegg and why that company uses the phantom emblem as their logo. The owner has said that if they ever open another factory, then only those cars built at the airbase factory will carry the emblem. It's their way of keeping the phantoms flying. Just a kittle fun tidbit.

This has been an All Time Favorite Aircraft since I was a kid! Nice build🤗

This aircraft from a kid together with the F4 Phantom later have and always will be my favourites. And even with the fantastic "ageing fighter" look you have given this kit, it's still beautiful. A masterful build sir.

Watching this was the best 45 minutes of my day! The shots outside were superb. She looked like she was ready to launch! Another outstanding build, brother....thank you for sharing it! Semper Fi

THANK YOU for weathering the decals!!! I feel that they are so often over looked or avoided when weathering an aircraft

What a great job Alex. This has convinced me to buy this kit hopefully it turns out half as good as yours.

Stunning Alex! A very enjoyable watch. Top job! 👍

Alex mais um grande video, obrigado pela partilha.

Hi Alex! Such a beautiful work! This weathering is like magic! Thanks for the upload!

Alex this is one fantastic build. Awesome details i love every bit of it.

Awesome build , weathering is fantastic !! Take care.

very nice Alex love the weathering looking foward to more full builds

Very nice technic and learning myself,good learning video for me with your painting and weathering.Very realistic.

Great show!

Awesome build Alex and the video work was great too I was glued to my seat for the whole 44 min.

excellent job mate, well done

¡Precioso! Enhorabuena, amigo mío! :)

A LOT of work went into this Alex. A stunning result too.

O resultado final é fantástico!! Continuas com uma precisão incrível nessas mãos!! Abraço amigo!!

Outstanding Alex. Loved watching the build.

Great build Alex, fantastic modeling. However had to turn off the music as it was doing my head in. LOL.

Wow!!! This is one of the best plane-kits I have ever seen👍👍👍

A master class build! Love it. -:

Nice job Alex!. I really like the faded paint effect.

Mr.Alex, WAUW WAUW, great one mine friend, two thumbs up

Fantastic!

Fantastic video of a beautiful beautiful build! You really did her justice! Used to get up and close to these beautiful jets as a kid, living in Sweden, unfortunately....the airbase in my old hometown is no longer used by the airforce.... Will get the D version, to do one which was based at my fighter back in the day....

brilliant work Alex well done buddy

ordered one now , gonna do the sweedish first, and later on of those that flew here in Denmark :-)

...Muy Lindo Drakken Alex.!Nice Work.!

My favorite fighter these days ..way ahead of its time .

Hi Alex. Another stella build. Brave person for trying that stippling effect with the sponge and the hand brush. Not one I care to use in fear of going over board with it and ruining the whole project. Very brave! Keep up the good work my friend!

Looks great)

Fantástico Alex! Assisti o vídeo do começo ao fim. Obrigado por compartilhar seu trabalho. Saudações desde o Brasil.

Really nice Alex!

fantastic!

Gorgeous result Alex!!

nice build

Beautiful work! I love the weathering. The Swedish must utilize them to their full potential and beat them up doing so because every photo, static museum display and video I have seen shows the aircrafts looking their age.

Nice finish! Congratulations Alex!

Im ready to come over and fly it.

Enhorabuena Alex!!!! Fantastico trabajo

nice job

Brilliant work and great video, mate. But a very serious face when spraying! Cheers.

Superb work my friend!

Can't you just really mess one up to make us feel better? Great weathering on this one! Nice looking kit. Nice fitting of the wings particularly!

beautiful model. well done Alex

very nice, sehr sehr schön 👍👍 danke fürs zeigen

Muito bom trabalho!!!

another masterpiece

Looks verry good *****

Belo trabalho! Parabéns!

Está 5 estrelas companheiro :)

And that is how you build a beautiful BEAUTIFUL Saab J35 Draken... 'nuff said!!! :) :) :) :) Great to see the build from beginning 'til end, (I sat through the whole video and enjoyed every second of it). The cockpit is a piece of art, as is the whole model, with that excellent fading and weathering!! :) Great tribute to a great aircraft, and to the former Swedish Air Force Wing F10!! :) Just one question, why is the text below the video in FINNISH? ;)

M A S T E R P I E C E ! ! ! great job Alex! ;) greetings^^

Nice :)

excellent vid. great results on the draken Alex. may be a viggen next ??

awsome video, but i think some of the music has copyright. which youtube does not take lightly, they might even terminate your account for it. Make sure to look for uncopyrigthed music, because you have a great channel :)

Nice, but man... Lobotomy must be better experience then that music

The painting is great, no doubt about it. But there are a couple of sad mistakes. First, those missile mountings at the front should not be present on a J35F1 - that is a J35J thing (for Sidewinders or drop tanks usually). Second, the metallic leading edge on the wings is of an even width, not as on your model following that panel line on the model.

beautyfull build and super video :-) was there any trouple with the fit of the kit?

Awesome build, you definetley get my approval! :D You got the colours spot on, it's just amazing. Only one thing though, the very tips of the air intakes are in black on the Draken's. The instructions look awesome too, way better than Hasegawa's where you have like everything in four pages or something. This kit is absolutley wonderful, and i'm definetley gonna get it myself and build in the future! :) The only downside on this kit in my opinion is that there are no bars in the front glass like on the real thing, but that's the only thing. It's easy and fun to build, good details, the seat looks OK and the decals are good, plus all versions are avaleble. The problem for me is that i want to build so many diffrent individuals in diffrent paint schemes and so on. Keep up the good work! :)

how did the decals go down,ok or not my last eduard kit i built were to thin and didnt work to good! BTW i like your weathering awsome!!!!

do more video's with full build in one video

Te quedo muy perron

Good build mate. Can i know which specific blue and which brand you're using for the sea blue here?

Besides models, what else do you do with your airbrush skill and control....

Please do tell me with what do you rub off the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color ??

Where did u buy it from cause I would love to buy one

On the upper fuselageop green color is olive green. Tell me, remember, what color did you exactly paint blue scheme?

I just love go grumpy ur face is!😅 13:56

SAAB made great cars too. I beat a 911S in a street race in a Sonnet lll.

Aaaaaarrrgghhhh... I want to build my kit now... but I can't!! I need to finish off another couple of started builds first as I have no space left on the shelf of doom for more half finished models. Gaaaahaaaarrgghh.. splutter.. fut.. It's all YOUR fault! :) Still, I am finishing off another Airfix Draken that I started ages ago, it will be with the same pattern as the yellow squares, but with RED squares instead.. splutter.. fut.. gaaaahaaarrghhh.. hic.. thud..

Good build. Far too heavy handed on the weathering and chipping. These planes never saw action and there were kept very well ( Swedish care you know). My impression, for what is worth...

The air intakes are not metal though they are brown when unpainted and made of some fibrous material

What's the name of the blue camouflage color?:)

Alex no bigcat.com.pt os produtos que dizem fora de stock eu posso encomendá-los?

Not exact a DRAKEN but good anyway

Forgive me, but it is not "moisted". You should say, "moistened". 😀

Horrible "orange peel" finish!
