<p>Welcome to the latest edition of our weekly Workbench blog, and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.</p><p>UK based enthusiasts know only too well how the centenary of their air force’s establishment is a time for national celebration, as they will no doubt have the pictures, books and memorabilia all gathered during a year of RAF 100 commemorations from back in 2018. With that being the case, we will be slightly envious of the Swedish people this year, as they’re already in their centenary year of the Flygvapnet, and have a massive Airshow event to come in August, to be held at Malmen Air Base at Linköping, unquestionably the most exciting place to be in this significant centenary year.</p><p>In this latest edition of Workbench, we will be paying our own blog tribute to this year’s <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://uk.airfix.com/products/swedish-air-force-100th-anniversary-set-a40004"><strong>Swedish Air Force Centenary</strong></a> celebrations, but from an Airfix perspective, and doing so in 1/72nd scale. Scheduled for release later this summer, our Swedish Air Force 100th Anniversary Set charts the development of the Flygvapnet from the inter-war purchase of British Gloster Gladiator fighters, to the introduction of the spectacular Draken fighter, an indigenously produced sensation of a supersonic aircraft. </p><p>A set which is in addition to the current <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://uk.airfix.com/products/airfix-club-membership-2026-uk-nclubairfixplus2026"><strong>Swedish Air Force related Club kit </strong></a>being enjoyed by active members of the Airfix Club, we’ll be making a sizeable scale Swedish Air Force Centenary entry in our modelling logbooks in this latest edition of Workbench.</p>
