Drakendenmark Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) 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. /T Edited March 15 by Drakendenmark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST0RM Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 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. -Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Good looking jets. I don't know much about today's generation of fighters but do know that Draken was quite a machine for its time, and slick looking too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mixed it 50/50 with hataka rlm75 grey which looked much better in my opinion 🙂 /T Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeus Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 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.
