Hasegawa Plastic Model Kit
Hasegawa J35F Draken (1/72) HAE48
The Hasegawa J35F Draken is a highly detailed 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the legendary Swedish supersonic interceptor. Famous for its revolutionary double-delta wing design, the Saab J35 Draken was one of the most advanced fighter aircraft of the Cold War and served as Sweden’s primary air defence aircraft for more than three decades.
Hasegawa accurately reproduces the sleek lines of the J35F with finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, realistic landing gear and sharply moulded external surfaces. The aircraft’s unique aerodynamic design is faithfully captured, while Hasegawa’s renowned engineering ensures excellent fit and crisp moulding quality throughout the build.
The compact 1/72 scale makes this kit ideal for both experienced aircraft modellers and anyone interested in Cold War aviation. Whether displayed in natural metal or the distinctive Swedish camouflage schemes, the Draken remains one of the most eye-catching fighters ever produced.

History
The Saab J35 Draken entered Swedish Air Force service in 1960 and became one of the world’s first fully operational supersonic interceptors capable of flying at twice the speed of sound. Its innovative double-delta wing provided excellent high-speed performance while maintaining good low-speed handling for take-off and landing. The improved J35F variant introduced enhanced radar, more powerful avionics and upgraded missile capability, making it Sweden’s principal air defence fighter throughout much of the Cold War. The Draken also served with the air forces of Denmark, Finland and Austria, remaining in operational use into the early 21st century and earning a reputation as one of Europe’s most successful indigenous fighter designs.
Glue and paints are sold separately.
