Thanks guys! Glad that I’ve passed your quality control, Magnus!
As promised, here are the photos of the swedished build … 
SAAB J 21 A-3
3. Squadron, Flygflottilj 9
Swedish Air Force, 1948
Kit: Pilot Replicas 1/48
Used paints:
Vallejo 71073 Metallic Black
Vallejo 71120 Dark Ghost Grey FS36320
Vallejo 71294 US Forest Green FS34079
Revell 09 Antracite
Revell 15 Yellow
Revell 45 Light Olive
Revell 90 Silver
Revell 99 Aluminium
Revell 302 Black
Revell 310 Lufthansa Yellow
and a mix of Revell 83 Red Brown with Black and Steel for the exhausts
The final coating was again made with a 70/30 mix of Revell Clear Gloss and Clear Matt. The best clear varnish that I’ve used so far. The landing light was covered with Revell Color Stop, similar to Humbrol Maskol but less aggressive. The pitot tube of the kit was crappy, so I used an Evergreen profile. But I believe it will take the first chance to run away from the kit. Okay, I still have a bit of Evergreen. Demasking the canopy was no problem. I was looking where the position lights are and found them on the fuselage and not on the wings. You can also see the blue light on the original aircraft in my post 1069. Funny side effect is that FS34079 looks brownish in all my photos here though it’s a green paint. Maybe it’s because of the light of my bench lamp. In daylight it looks green. The decals are from Cartograph and were amazing to apply to the build. I think the Tre Kronor decals are huge. Were they really that big? The J 21 is my 7. SAAB aircraft now. I still have 3 more in my stash …
Again I want to thank everyone here who has followed my work with comments and/or likes and I hope you’ve enjoyed it. It’s always great to know you at my side! Thank you!
Now I will concentrate working on my Leopard C2 build but I will soon return with some wingy thingy.
Happy modelling!

Thanks, Russell! Glad you like it.
Not sure what plane comes next, I have a few in my stash. But I also have signed in for a campaign, starting in March, so maybe I go for that build first …

@BlackWidow It looks more than enough Swedish to me! Nice build of one of the most odd designs we ever had in the Swedish Airforce. And as you all probaby know, SAAB even managed to do a jet version of this! Not very successful but equally as odd as this one and it flew for a few years in the SWAF that one as well.
