	The SAAB 29 Tunnan
		SAAB engineers had no knowledge of the P-80 when they drew up the R-101 design, and when they found out about the Shooting Star, they realized they were several years behind the times and went back to the drawing board.
		Through the assistance of the Swiss, SAAB engineers were also able to get their hands on German aerodynamic research data from the war that demonstrated the effectiveness of a swept wing for high-speed flight, and so modified the original straight wing to a wing with a sweepback of 25 degrees.
		This wing was used on a new Tunnan variant, the "J-29E", with the prototype flying on 3 December 1953.

	Informat.io on Saab Tunnan
		The SAAB 29 prototype that flew for the first time on 1 September 1948 was a small, chubby aircraft with a single central air intake, a bubble cockpit and a very thin swept-back wing.
		Tunnan was generally regarded as one of the finest fighters of its time, it was fast and supremely agile.
		Tunnan held the world speed record for about a year in 1954 when it set the record at 977 km/h; the record was beaten by an American F-86 Sabre.

	The SAAB 29 Tunnan
		SAAB used the Goblin engine to provide the Flygvapnet (Swedish Air Force) with the first indigenous Swedish jet fighter by fitting the engine to the innovative J 21 pusher-prop fighter -- the "J" stood for "Jakt (Fighter)", by the way -- developed during the war.
		The Tunnan was a leading-edge fighter by the standards of the time; during a visit to the UK in 1953, a group of Swedish pilots with Tunnans got a chance to take on US Air Force F-86 Sabres, with the two types proving very equivalent in performance.
		The Tunnan was out of first-line service by the mid-1960s, with a few used as target tugs and for other second-string tasks into the 1970s, with the very last in service retired in a formal ceremony in 1976.

	Saab 29 Tunnan - fighter, reconnaissance, attack aircraft (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Saab's original project for the Saab-29 had envisaged it as a conventional monoplane powered by a de Havilland Goblin turbojet, but information on German swept-wing research which became available soon after the end of hostilities in Europe (combined with development of the more powerful de Havilland Ghost turbojet) resulted in redesign to incorporate these features.
		As the company had no experience of the behaviour of a swept wing it was decided to use a Saab Safir lightplane to test a wing of this configuration, a reduced-scale wing with 25° of sweep-back being installed and flown on this aircraft.
		Saab J 29A fighters began to enter service with the Flygvapen later in 1951, the type remaining in production until April 1956, by which time a total of 661 had been built.

		SAAB was in fact working on advanced design studies for jet fighter aircraft, beginning with the "RX-1", which was roughly along the lines of the Vampire, and then the "R-101" or "Cigar", which was more along the lines of the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star.
		SAAB engineers worked with their de Havilland counterparts and determined that the Ghost would fit easily into the new fighter design.
		Wind tunnel tests were performed, and a SAAB 91A "Safir" light piston aircraft was fitted with a half-scale version of the 25-degree swept wing for flight tests beginning in the spring of 1946.

	J29 Tunnan, Saab
		The Saab 29 was the first European, post WWII, swept-wing jet fighter in service (the Messerschmitt Me262 being the first ever).
		Saab had a very tight delivery schedule for the fighters to the air force, which made it impossible for them to also build the required 20 trainers.
		These capacity problems later on led to Saab having to cancel their Saab 90 Skandia airliner in favour of building Tunnans for the air force.

	Heller 1/72 Saab J/S 29 Tunnan
		One of the 'first generation' of post-war jet fighters, the Saab 29 owed much to two things: one was German wartime research on swept wing aircraft, which found it's way into Swedish hands via a circuitous route in late 1945.
		Among Swedish aircraft, the Saab 29 has the rare distinction of serving in combat, when both fighter and reconnaissance versions were sent to the Congo in the early 1960's, to support UN operations against Katangan rebels during the chaotic period that accompanied the Congo's gaining its' independence from Belgium.
		The only other kit of the 'Tunnan' that I am aware of is the Matchbox kit of the 'F' version, which is (being issued in 1978) probably slightly newer than the Heller kit.
