mydesign Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi, a few months ago I started making a 1/32 vacuform model of the Saab J-29A Tunnan. It was a ID Models kit later made available by "Tigger". Check out my modelling in progress report here: https://designer.home.xs4all.nl/models/j29-32/j29-32-1.htm I am searching now for a nice colour scheme. A J-29A with serial 29303 as flown by F13 at Norrköping, Sweden appears to have a nice scheme. It is the same scheme as in the Tarangus kit in 1/72 scale and I have their instructions. But finding a real photo of this J29A of F13 with this scheme was impossible.... Does anyone have a real photo or a link on the internet to a photo as "sort of proof" that the scheme is correct? Also, the later series of the J-29A had the dive brake re-positioned "in front of the main landing gear" door... but is there a photo that shows it? Thanks Meindert Derek B, Zero77, Rick Griewski and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Isn't that interesting. This aircraft resembles a Messerschmitt P.1101. Sincerely, Mark LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Depending how serious you are....that profile is no 29A, it's a 29E or 29F with sawtooth wing. No it isn't. It's a 29A, stupid me looking at an Android screen...The guy who designed the decals would never have included an aircraft he doesn't know serial and complete markings. It's real.Great job btw Edited July 7, 2016 by AndersN mpk, Derek B and Zero77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Isn't that interesting. This aircraft resembles a Messerschmitt P.1101. Sincerely, Mark The nose section kind of looks like a Lightning with a bubble canopy too. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Work slow, then you can use 1/32 decals from another company. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Great project, Meindert! Would be fantastic as a WiP thread here. I have this kit too, and have been wanting to build it since forever, as the Tunnan is one of my favourite aircraft. Just one correction, though: as far as I'm aware, this kit was never in the I.D. Models catalogue, and is a Tigger original. Kev Derek B and Zero77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 as the Tunnan is one of my favourite aircraft Then you will be very happy in the near future. LSP_Kevin, Derek B and Zero77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Any Saab in 1/32 is a great thing, even rumors of a Saab. He want his Viggens and Drakens. Tnarg Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Would love some hints, Heinz! Kev I'm thinking that since Heinz Provides Hints, that the manufacturer of such a kit might become obvious........ Derek B, Zero77 and Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnarg Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) That seems rather BOLD of you to suggest, but I will apparently need to save my cash for the forthcoming resin Tunnan. Tnarg Or was that Czech instead of cash? Good stuff either way... Edited July 7, 2016 by Tnarg Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm thinking that since Heinz Provides Hints, that the manufacturer of such a kit might become obvious........ Well, Heinz didn't tell me who it is, only that it won't be resin. Kev Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, Heinz didn't tell who it is, only that it won't be resin. Kev Well, that shoots that down.... Tarangus is the only likely option then. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, that shoots that down.... Tarangus is the only likely option then. Hobby Boss and Pilot Replicas both have 1/48 kits on the market at the moment, so they're potential candidates too. It could also be a new player who hasn't release at Tunnan yet, but that's less likely. Kev Derek B and Lee White 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndersN Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hobbyboss would be 1/40 and I seriously doubt Pilot Replicas enter 1/32... Hopefully not Tarangus (who personally dislikes 1/32 because it's so big and expensive.) Revell?
