Saab 35 Draken, Acro Deltas
An overview of the kit.
This is the version of the Acro Deltas I am going to build.
I started to cover the outboard wings with supermaket acquired aluminum foil.
The plastic injection is awful and very thin.
The canopies does not physically match. I will have to solve this problem.
Dry fit with the outboard wings and the fuselage section.
Started to cover the fuselage with aluminum foil.
Dry fit with the outboard wings and the fuselage section, already aluminum covered.

I had to reprint the decals, as they have just broke when placed in water.. 🙁
This is the round wooden base I made, printed the Swedish roundel in adhesive paper, and placed it on the top of it. Also I have used an inox bicycle spoke to link the base and the plane.
I epoxy glued the threaded end of the spoke to the model rear exhaust, in order to place the spoke afterwards.

Unfortunately the decals I printed became kind of translucent. But as there is no solution, I will leave them this way..
The yellow transparency od the swedish roundel over the silver foil, gave it a golden look. Although not accurate, it made a beautiful effect.
