Special Hobby 72421 SAAB B-5 'Swedish Dive Bomber' plastic model kit in 1:72 scale. Contains photo etch, resin and vac formed parts. New & sealed.

Swedish variety of the Northrop A-17 bomber, contains etches, resins and vacuum-formed canopy. The Northrop A-17 was a US dive bomber aeroplane which saw service not just with the USAAF but it also proved to be an export success in the pre-war era. A low-wing monoplane of modern all metal construction was operated by many nations, it was also licence-produced in Sweden, which had required the type to be fitted with the British Mercury power plant. Ski undercarriage was to be an option too, for flying in winter conditions.
This kit has been created the same way as the original was, ie.by adapting the A-17 type. So, it contains resin parts, vacuum-formed canopy and two frets of etches (pre-coloured and a plain one) The decal sheets brings markings for three Swedish machines in various styles of camouflage patterns. Two styles of undercarriage too, with wheels and skis, which were both used on the type.
