Airfix Swedish Air Force 100th Anniversary Set 1/72

Celebrate a century of Swedish military aviation with the Airfix Swedish Air Force 100th Anniversary Set. This commemorative 1/72 scale collection brings together aircraft representing different stages in the development of the Swedish Air Force, from its use of foreign-built machines to the emergence of distinctive aircraft designed in Sweden.

The set contains 287 components and offers a skill level 2 modelling project suitable for ages 8 and above. Five livery options are included, providing a selection of finishes representing different periods of Swedish aviation history and adding plenty of variety to the building and painting stages.

A Century of Swedish Air Force Aircraft

At the beginning of the Second World War, the Swedish Air Force operated around 180 aircraft of various types, with many sourced from Britain, the United States, Germany and Italy. Sweden’s first locally designed aircraft emerged in 1942, while foreign aircraft continued to supplement the country’s fleet as Sweden maintained its neutrality.

That development continued into the jet era as Sweden established its own distinctive approach to military aircraft design. One of the best-known examples represented in this commemorative collection is the SAAB J35 Draken, a supersonic interceptor that became an important part of Swedish aviation history.

287 Components and Five Livery Options

The set contains multiple 1/72 aircraft kits with a combined total of 287 components. Five different livery options allow the collection to reflect changing periods and appearances across the Swedish Air Force’s history.

• Multiple 1/72 scale aircraft models
• 287 components in total
• Five livery options
• Includes the SAAB J35 Draken
• Skill level 2
• Suitable for ages 8 and above

The combination of multiple aircraft and varied liveries makes this an appealing project for modellers interested in Swedish aviation, Cold War aircraft and the development of military aircraft technology across different eras.
