The Swedish J-35 Draken is an icon of Cold War fighter aviation, designed as a supersonic interceptor aircraft. The Draken served in the Swedish Air Force from the early 1960s to the early 1990s, and was also operated by the air forces of Denmark, Finland, and Austria. The Hasegawa model stands out for its high level of detail, and the use of dedicated Eduard EX249 masks ensures perfect finishing of the transparent cockpit parts, which is especially important when building fighter jets from this era.

I recommend this product both to beginners and advanced modelers who value a professional end result and want to save time during painting. The universality and ease of use make Eduard masks an excellent choice even for those just starting their adventure with aircraft modeling.

Difficulty level of use: 1/5 – very easy to use, greatly facilitates the assembly of the model.
