Phantom2 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Hi all! As this is a Jubilee-build and a long one, even I have a chance to get it over the finish line! What better then building something from my hometown of Linköping, Sweden, where the SAAB J-29 Tunnan (Barrell) was built during the 50´s and 60´s. I´ll use the FLY kit and some aftermarket, even tough there’s not much available. I have the Maestro nose ring as the kit intake is more akin a MiG-15 then a Tunnan. As my main reference I have this book by Mikel Forslund, signed by the author himself! More to come soon!

Yes, if I can get a nose gear set, they are out of stock at the moment. Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'm really looking forward to this. I bought the "B" version when it came out, and an intake correction from eBay, but I've yet to see anyone document a build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom2 Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 (edited) 11 hours ago, LSP_Kevin said: Who has the corrected nose gear? Kev A Swedish firm called "Maestro Models", many 3D printed and Resin/metal parts and even Decals for Swedish Aircrafts in all major scales. The Nosegear set have art.no. 3206... https://www.maestromodels.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=3206 ...and the Intake set have the art. no. 3204 https://www.maestromodels.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=3204 I can only recommend this firm, I have used their products in many of my builds.

LSP_Kevin Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Thanks, Stefan. I have a couple of the intake sets, but had no idea the nose gear existed! BNA doesn't show them at all. I'll have to order some direct, I guess. EDIT I see now that they're 3D printed, and probably only printed when you order them, which would explain why BNA wouldn't even have them listed, let alone in stock. Anyway, I've "backordered" a pair of them. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Thanks very much for the information about the front landing gear. I put my kit aside to find a solution for that one. This is good to know there is at last a solution that will not ask for hair pulling...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Thanks for the links Stefan - those items have been listed at Hannants as a Future Release, for quite some time, also have the chocks listed, which are on the Maestro website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy, maybe? 1/32 J-29 Exhaust I bought his intake from him. I don't know if he will also have the earlier exhaust, or if the Fly kit even needs it.
