Scale modelling of the J-29F Tunnan by Hobby Boss

The Hobby Boss 1/48 J-29F Tunnan model kit represents a standout example of mid century jet design, reproduced here in 1/48 scale for hobbyists who enjoy period aircraft. The kit emphasises the aircrafts rounded fuselage and characteristic silhouette for a convincing replica.

Construction and display guidance

Crisp injection moulding and sensible part breakdown make the Hobby Boss J-29F Tunnan straightforward to assemble. Once painted and decaled the model makes an impressive addition to a wings and wheels display or model shelf.

Design and legacy

Popularly called the "Flying Barrel", the J-29F combined strong aerodynamics with innovative design choices for its time. Building the kit gives a practical insight into those design cues and their visual impact.
