Default RE: J-35 Draken build thread

Hey guys,

Finally had time to post my progress on the 1/5th Draken fighter.

While I have not posted any photos in the last two weeks, I have indeed, been working feverishly to make headway in order to meet my self imposed timeline for completing this wonderful jet.
The following pictures is of work completed in the last week or so.

The first of the series is of the four, yes, I said four speedbrakes!
There are four equally spaced speedbrakes on the J-35 spaced around the aft-fuselage area for added drag for the approach and landing phase due to the lack of flaps. Its all about AOA for this jet, along with proper power manegement for this guy as it is with most similar design delta platforms. The photos may not necesarily be in correct order but you can get the idea by viewing the pictures.
Enjoy.........
