Just three Tunnans – in their J29F configurations – remain, while the rest have been scrapped over the years. One that was in service with the Austrian Air Force is on display at the Museum of Military History in Vienna, while another is at the French Musée de l’Air located at the former Paris–Le Bourget Airport and the third is at the Swedish Cold War “Aeroseum” in Göteborg.

Lots of back and forth with reference. Pencil marks indicate seam failures from old Milliput.

Well done Bruce!

Thank you, Carlos. Now I have to replicate it on the other side. I’ve saved the two kinds of card and brass tubing I used so at least I have these to work from! Cheers, mate
