I'd love to see this as a GB badge though I expect everyone will want something more Saab related though.

Vance: SG posted what I'm assuming is a travel poster. It's painted to look like a woodcut from the Middle Ages of a Viking longboat with a great red dragon head on the prow sweeping toward the viewer on the crest of a swelling wave.

And would look better with a Cat's Head logo on the sail..............

This might motivate some of you fence-sitters:

And

I may be a BIG SAAB GROUPIE

Awesome photos! Just what is that bizarre beast in the first one...?

I might have to add a tunnan to my list. Oddly attractive aircraft.

That's a Saab J21 (J21-A??) with a Daimler-Benz engine. They later developed that airframe into the J21R with a jet engine:

fine pictures there!! 

Must read another time the saab history in one of my aircraft books!!

This might motivate some of you fence-sitters:

 

Always thought it was a really cool looking aircraft. I don't think anyone makes a kit in 1/48th scale though that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Haven't gone looking for one in 1/48, not sure if there is anything there to be honest. I've got the Heller 1/72 kit. I think Special Hobby also has one at that scale.

and a 1/72 scale kit of  that aircraft is made by Special Hobby:

Yeah I figured there would be a 1/72nd kit, I'm just more of a 1/48th guy though. I would look good sitting next to my Curtiss Ascender and Shinden (assuming I get either built that is).

Special hobby costs too much here!! lots of intresting subjects

I was thinking teh same thing about the side-by-side opportunity with the Shinden - after seeing some previews of theZoukei-Mura offering

(That may now be on my "find-it list"...)

From what I've seen this looks like an awesome kit but I'm cheap enough I'm going to stick to the Haswgawa 1/48th kit for the time being

I hear you - to be honest, I'm probably on more of a Hasegawa budget anyway. I see they have a 1/72 option as well - engraved panels on that one I wonder??

Still deciding on a kit here.  Since I'm looking at 1:72 scale I may end up doing 2.

With the "any markings" rule, is that emphasizing historical or would something original for a 2nd kit be acceptable?   Just checking in case something "completely different" comes to mind.

Also looking forward to seeing the badge that's decided on.  Personally, I'm rooting for the Swedish Chef idea, but I know not everyone is as eccentric as I am.

Well a trip to the LHS solved the "what to build" dilema for me. Apparently 1/72 Sweedish craft have been out of prouction for a few years (news to me!) But they managed to find me a Revell 1/72 Draken online. It's even done in a bright and colorful paint scheme, like I want to do (couldn't tell if it was Swiss or Austrian, but one of the two.)

Thanks

Count me in Vance. I'm not sure what yet as I'll have to buy something.

I'm assuming the kit will come with an allan key to aid assembly....

Cheers
