The Saab A-32A Lansen in the Gamma test form in 1:48 scale is a resin conversion set from the Maestro Models brand. It makes it possible to build the Lansen with a front section carrying Viggen equipment.
Responsibility details are not available.
This resin set in 1:48 scale serves to convert a model of the Swedish Saab A-32A Lansen into the form designated Gamma, that is, into the configuration with a front section matching the equipment of the Saab 37 Viggen. It is not an aircraft kit - the base Lansen model has to be on hand, and the set replaces its original front parts. Maestro Models is a Swedish accessory brand, and exactly these domestic test machines are among the subjects you will not find with the large kit makers.
The Saab 32 Lansen was a Swedish two-seat jet aircraft of the 1950s with a swept wing, built in attack, fighter and reconnaissance versions; the A-32A was the attack version. A sturdy airframe and a roomy nose made it a suitable carrier for measuring and test apparatus, so the Lansen served in test roles long after it had been replaced in combat units. One such use was the flight testing of equipment for the forthcoming Saab 37 Viggen, when the machine received a modified nose. The set captures this configuration.
Converting the front section means cutting into the fuselage. Mark the line of the cut with thin tape all the way round, so that the cut is square, and use a saw, not a knife. Wash the resin parts in lukewarm water with dish soap, remove the casting blocks and level the surfaces on sandpaper on a flat base. They are attached with cyanoacrylate glue, and once it has dried, fill and sand the joint - the transition between resin and plastic shows most of all on the outline of the nose when the model is looked at. Watch the balance: a resin nose is heavier than hollow plastic. Apply primer before painting; it will also show whether the joint really is smooth.
This is a conversion accessory, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
