Since I mentioned my J.21 in my Hobby Boss Bv 141 thread I figured I should post a few pics. Another of my all time favorite odd aircraft, I was delighted when Pilot Replicas announced this one. I built it a few months ago for Airfix Model World, the article appearing in the January 2016 issue.







Cheers,
Eric

Very nice model, and indeed a very odd thing.

I have a weak spot for Saab. This is very welcome

Hi Eric

That's beautiful! If it doesn't clash with your agreement with Airfix magazine, it'd be great to see in on the frontpage.

I'd completely overlooked this kit, but I think you've just shown me what to get for my next birthday present!

All the best

Hi Eric

Beautiful model of an unusual airplane. Very well done!

I must admit to having a certain weakness for the Saab aircraft - started with the Tunnan, then the Draken, followed by the Viggen and now the Grippen.

All very distinctive and beautiful designs.

Regards,
Kobus

Thank you Rowan, and the rest, for those kind words.

Since the article has been published, there's no problem putting it on the front page. I'd be honored!

Cheers,
Eric
