This new
rein and photo etch set by Maestro
Models Conversion
includes 2 RB28 AIM-4D Falcon for SAAB J35F/J Draken. These resin
missiles can also be used on other aircraft and not just the Draken as the
Falcon was an American designed missile that was sold to a variety of
airforces and of course it was also used on American jets.

The set includes 2
missile bodies cast in resin and all the fins are done in photo etch. To
help you align the fins there is a photo etch alignment tool that should give
you excellent results.
You will be
required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the
Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The
Small Shop, then this will be an
easy process. They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as
well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.
It's good to see these AIM-4D Falcon
missiles in 1/72 and these will be very popular with not just the Draken, but
with many different aircraft from that time period and if my memory serves me
correctly these were used during the Vietnam war on the F-4 Phantom.
The instructions are clear and
include 1 photo of an assembled missile inside the special alignment tool plus 1
page of line drawings to help you assemble your missile.
I would like to
thank Maestro
Models Conversion for
providing me with this product sample.
Maestro
Models Conversion has more items for the
Viggen and Draken.
