Special Hobby 1/72 Saab J-21R

Post by Narayan »

Greetings!

It appears I am not the only one building this kit.

Starting off with the box art and sprues:

That's all I have for now. The kit has had a wash and I'm hoping to get the time to make a start tomorrow.

The kit has gone together reasonably well. The fuselage was a good fit. But there are gaps in the tail wings that will need to be filled.

I've not been very good at taking progress shots. Here is where I am at.

What do you say to coordinating our decal choice? That way, we can have two different J-21Rs. I'm thinking about doing CAM. D. for my bird.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Sounds good Chuck. I was thinking of CAM. B.
