SAAB J29A/B Tunnan 1/72 SOLD OUT

The SAAB 29, colloquially called Flygande tunnan (English: "The flying barrel"), was a Swedish fighter designed and manufactured by SAAB in the 1940s. It was Sweden's second turbojet-powered combat aircraft, the first being the Saab 21R; additionally, it was the first Western European fighter to be produced with a swept wing after WWII, the Me 262 being the first during the war. Despite its rotund appearance, from which its name derives, the J 29 was a fast and agile aircraft for its era. It served effectively in both fighter and fighter-bomber roles into the 1970s.
This model is of the early version with a straight leading edge of the wing. It was later modified with a dog tooth shape. 

The kit is a high quality shortrun with injection moulded clear parts.
