About product

SAAB J 29F Tunnan 1:48 (Pilot Replicas)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Swedish SAAB J 29F Tunnan jet fighter in 1:48 scale from Pilot Replicas. This edition concentrates on aircraft in Austrian service. The kit offers a fine engraved surface, photo-etched parts and good decals.

The real subject

The SAAB 29 Tunnan, nicknamed the Flying Barrel, was the first Swedish jet fighter with a swept wing and it first flew in 1948. The J 29F version was powered by a license-built de Havilland Ghost engine with an afterburner and carried four 20 mm cannon. In the 1960s the Austrian Air Force took over used Swedish J 29F aircraft and operated them on fighter and reconnaissance duties until 1972. The Austrian machines carried bold yellow and red codes according to their squadrons, which makes them a rewarding subject.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid cement for plastic and finish the cockpit interior before you close the fuselage. Cover the glazing with a mask, apply a primer and spray thin coats of color with an airbrush. For a metallic-looking surface it pays to have a smooth base, to stir the metallic paint thoroughly and to apply it last, because it is harder to overspray and mask.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Swedish and Austrian aircraft
  • Modelers who enjoy the early jet era
  • Anyone interested in a fine engraved surface and photo-etched parts
  • More advanced builders in 1:48 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
