On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Looking good, Chuck. The J-21 is certainly a characterful, if not overtly handsome, jet!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Special Hobby SAAB J-21R from Wing F7 at Satenas in 1953-54. The setting is my airfield module to my HO gauge railroad. It's a great photo setting when it comes to aircraft models
Here is J-21R paired with the Heller SAAB J-21A (and reason why I never picked up the Special Hobby version )

Nice job on that. Amazing that they redesigned it to take a jet engine successfully.
I like the background of the airfield from your train layout.

That's got to be one of the sharpest SAAB J-21Rs I've ever seen!
Talk about a crisp, clean build. It appears practically flawless.

That is seriously good looking . Kind of looks like a Venom's big assed sister.
