In these seven years many kits have been released by various manufacturers including major jet fighters such as the Gripen and Viggen as well as training aircraft and propeller-driven aircraft whose names might not immediately ring a bell. Many modelers may have fond memories of Swedish Air Force aircraft plastic models made by Airfix the old Esci Italeri and Heller but the release of the 1/48 Draken in 2008—an item that the company's staff explicitly stated was developed targeting the European market—served as a catalyst making it a subject that manufacturers of all sizes both East and West have been tackling. Particularly noteworthy is Tarangus established in Sweden in 2009. Through a strong collaboration with Special Hobby they have successively released items that filled what could be called a definitive version vacuum such as the 1/48 Viggen and Lansen and the 1/72 Tunan establishing their position in the market. Furthermore Hobby Boss Revell Germany and Kitty Hawk are also striving to provide users with new experiences through the addition of new molds and updated parts. The aircraft developed by Sweden which maintained a neutral policy during the Cold War mostly by SAAB are characterized by their unique shapes that incorporate a design philosophy focused on rapid response and continuous operation. Combined with the somewhat mysterious image of Scandinavia they exude a different charm from aircraft of the East and West. Their operational methods are also unique with the air of the aircraft being stored in underground bases located throughout the country the tension of using highways as runways and the simple structure that allows even reserve soldiers to inspect and maintain the aircraft in the short time required for turnaround and redeployment. As readers of this magazine know there is no shortage of stories to tell about them... however the truth is that these circumstances are changing in recent years. Through this special feature why not update your knowledge of Swedish Air Force aircraft—the present past and future as well as the model-making scene surrounding them—which you may think you know but actually don't
