1/48 resin S35E Draken Recce conversion

Convert a 35E Draken into a Recce nose S35E Draken

This new resin nose by Maestro Models Conversions from Rebell Hobby one beautifully master and carefully crafted resin nose to permit you to converts the 35E Draken into a Recce nose S35E Draken.  This resin conversion is designed for the new 1/48 Hasegawa J35 Draken.  You will be required to do a few simple changes to the kit but these are  well laid out in the instructions.  These changes include adding the camera openings in the lower front section of the wings plus the aim behind the nose cone, but the Hasegawa kit is prepared for this.  

That will permit you to build the early S35E from the first delivery batch.  If you want to build a Draken from the second batch, then you'll need to replace the canopy with a  lower version also available from Rebell Hobby.  

A very common configuration for the S35E is a load of 4 fuel tanks and these are also available from  Rebell Hobby.  

The instructions are clear and include 2 photos to help you with the conversion.

I would like to thank Rebell Hobby for providing me with this review sample.  The price is 135 SEK (about 14.50 EURO or for folks in the US the price is $18.00) direct from http://www.rebell.com.

Rebell Hobby will have more items for the Draken in the future from Maestro Models Conversions.
