J29Ö Tunnan recce conversion (Matchbox)

Short history:
30 aircraft of the type SAAB J29F Tunnans were sold to Austria in 1961 where they remained in service until 1972. Some of them were equipped with a locally constructed recce camera casette that replaced the left nose cannon bay.

Model kits:
The only J29F Tunnan model kit ever made is the old Matchbox kit. It requires a lot of attention due to its deep panel lines etc. One could make an engine conversion by cutting the engine section from Matchbox and fitting it to the Heller kit. Depending on the degree of exactness required by the modeller, the difference in the tail section between an Heller E and and a F is not that big and will surely be accepted by a majority of builders.
