Saab J35 Draken Fighter

4,090 Hypixel  5.1 years ago

This is the Swedish Air Force jet, the Saab J35 Draken fighter. Developed in Sweden, the Draken was introduced into service with the Swedish Air Force (SAF) on 8 March 1960 under the designation J 35, the prefix J standing for Jakt, which equals fighter in English nomenclature. Early models were intended purely to perform air defence missions, the type being considered to be a capable dogfighter for the era. Finally, thanks to Skua for the Swedish Air Force roundel.

For some reason, the plane lists to the left whenever you pitch up, and it goes to the opposite when you pitch down. If someone can tell me why, please!

    This is pretty nice! You got the overall shape down fairly well. A little bit of touching up wouldn’t do any harm. You also might want to switch the elevator and ailerons as I think it’s the other way round for this plane (but I could be wrong). Overall it’s a good build, a little heavy but good.

    @GeneralOliverVonBismarck I referenced from a 3d model, which probably doesn't mean anything at all, but thanks!

    Edit: Thank you for the spotlight!
