"The Tarangus A-32" Topic

Took my atention this plane.
Not very common to see and the author of the link said:

"This is the ONLY 1/48 Lansen kit on the market. Perhaps there is an old vacuform from the age when dinosaurs roamed the earth, but itīs hardly "on the market" any more."

This plane was in action anywhere?

Hope you enjoy!.

Yes, just like the decals show: Sweden. link

Good to see this 1/48 kit. I'll have to pick one up. I have a real weakness for Swedish planes.

This plane was in action anywhere?

In service in Sweden from 1955 to 1997(!). The only ones to go overseas have ended up in museums (U.S., Spain).

Pretty bird… Wonder if I could buy one surplus (after I win the lottery)?

Thanks for your guidance Bill.

Good history of the Lansen to be found here;

Swedish aircraft always seem to look incredible and usually unique; Although the Lansen always seemed very similar to the Hawker Hunter to me.

In answer to your question, the closest the Lansen came to combat was during the (in)famous Whiskey on the Rocks incident.
