The initial pilot training aircraft of the Swedish Air Force - that I also flew once upon a time when I was young!
I think it is one of the most slick and elegant aircrafts ever, with a very typical whistling jet sound that can I recognize instantly.
The Swedish Marivox kit, which was the only existing model of the SK60, was since many years out of stock everywhere. But when all of a sudden it was re-released two weeks ago, I immediately picked it up. Two copies in fact, so I can build one in the pretty Team 60 camo/blue/yellow livery and later one recce version from the early 80's in a more usual camo. Or maybe the FOA 'splinter' camo if I manage to find decent pictures.
Well, I must be a masochist or something, because opening the box reminds me that this kit is not for the faint of heart - model builders usually claim that this is one of the hardest injection kits to build, and one should always consider making a part from scratch instead of using whatever is available on the sprue. Dunno, but I sure spent more time scratch building than I though I would.
Still, as far as I know, this is the only model of this lovely little aircraft. And it was a fun build!
