Those truly are inspirational J-29 examples.  Wears Mig wings so well.  Have couple kits, now wanna build them.

Hmm, looks like the only things they didn't do are swing wings and forward-swept wings.  ;D

It really does, doesn't it?  :-* This J-29 Uti has always been one of my favourite whifs.

The Gripen wings and canards also work surprisingly well.

How much faster is J-29 with F-104 wings & tail ?
Looks like Ho.229 wings on pure silver one.  Is fine.
Like the long straight wing versions too.

A very simple RAAR Reserve wiff.  Maybe with the RAAF following the RAF in adopting brighter squadron markings.

How many Tunnan kits went into that?
Two? Three?

Post by: jcf on March 30, 2020, 04:51:19 AM
Three at least, it looks like one 1/48 and two 1/72 kits.

It does bear a resemblance doesn't it.

The Tunnan was inspired by several German projects, including the P.1101. The X-5 was a direct descendant of the P.1101, so it and the Tunnan are cousins.
