Saab J 35 Draken is one of the most recognizable Swedish supersonic fighter jets, designed in the 1950s by Saab and operated since the early 1960s by the Swedish Air Force as well as the armed forces of Denmark, Austria, and Finland. During the Cold War, the Draken formed the backbone of Scandinavian air defense and remained in use until the 1990s. Its distinctive double-delta wing shape and advanced aerodynamics allowed it to break the sound barrier while maintaining high maneuverability. The J 35 Draken participated in numerous NATO exercises and patrol operations in the Scandinavian and Baltic regions.

The Aires set consists of precisely cast resin parts that replicate the details of both the main and nose landing gear bays. Compared to the original, simplified plastic parts, Aires bays stand out due to their detailed hydraulic systems, installation wiring, and interior surface textures. This greatly enhances the realism of the J35 Draken model, especially if you plan a display with the landing gear lowered.

Assembly difficulty: 3/5 – this product requires some experience with resin and fine details, so we recommend it to intermediate and advanced modelers. Assembly involves cutting out the standard kit bays, fitting, and carefully sanding the new resin parts.

We recommend this set to aviation enthusiasts and modelers aiming to take their model collection to the next level with maximum detail, faithfully reproduced according to historical documentation of the original. The Aires 7200 set significantly enhances both the exhibition and collectible value of the J35 Draken model.
