Title: SAAB 91 Safir
Post by: No.1 on August 17, 2014, 10:59:13 AM

Dear friends,

few days ago you have seen that among new items I have get is also this kit. This is latest kit from Tarangus and it is in 1/48 scale. It is simple but precise kit. Simple mean that for extra detailing you need very little, just few details in cockpit and I will add em. First set of images present content of the kit. Build will continue today.

I will make Sweden sample. This is somehow my rule, when make some type of aircraft, if I have options to choose I take primary user of the plane, in most cases country where it was originated ;)

Good looking so far!

Yes, I may be able to use the Ethiopian decals, but don't waste postage on them separately, just slip them in if ever you send anything else my way.

The State Aviation School (Rijksluchtvaartschool or RLS) operated the Safir for a long period.
This one is privately owned.
Took this picture this weekend during the Plane and Truck event at Aviodrome, Lelystad airport.
