History of the Danish F-35’s


Recommended Posts

Here are two Hasegawa F-35’s in Danish markings.

Denmark flew F-35(Draken) from 1970-1993, and now we fly F-35(JSF) again.

 

The reason is that the Danish Draken versions was named F-35 (fighter/bomber) and RF-35 (recce).

 

The models:

The F-35A (jsf) was built oob, painted with Hataka Have Glass grey and markings from Lima November decals.

 

The F-35 Draken is a modified Hasegawa kit with Maestro Models conversion set and PE. Its painted in grey-green finish mixed from Hataka acrylics and Gauzy gloss coat and markings from Stoppel Decals.

 

Hope you will enjoy this little historic view of the Danish F-35’s past and present.

Cool project! 
I really like the HG paint on the LM F-35. I'll have to source some. 
And the Draken is timeless. Beautiful jet! The intake covers are a great touch.

Thanks @ST0RM
actually the Hataka HG is very grainy with large metal flakes. I mixed it 50/50 with hataka rlm75 grey which looked much better in my opinion 🙂

Lovelly pair. The Draken is very near the top of my to-do list. It surelly deserves more attention.

Nice mix on the F-35 paint. I used pure Have Glass from Hataka on mine. A lovelly colour, but much too light unfortunatly. I like You rendition better.

Draken looks way better with flaps dropped. Nice work there.

Hi @Thadeus

Thanks for your comments.

I too find the hataka have glass too light and grainy. The rlm75 grey darkened it a bit and toned down the metal flakes.
