Details look brilliant! Lucky we are by what can be achieved with 3D printing... although the $47 price is a bit steep, imho. I respect the brainwork and effort for creating such stuff but still high considering it is about one-fifth/sixth of a contemporary full resin kit.

I made my pre-order yesterday .Regarding the weight of the kit , I hope that the nose gear leg, will be strong enough to support it..well .... let's trust to the Jetmad team to solve the problem

There was a hot "landing gear under weight" discussion when the Viggen was announced I remember and I was curious as well. Jetmads had assured it was alright. Looking at my Viggen I can say it is absolutely alright indeed, stands so firm it looks like it can carry two other Viggens on top of it. I don't expect that to be a problem.

It may also be possible that BNA is one of their retailers. And this is what retailers do: sell at double prices.
I'm glad Jetmads sells to modelers directly and we do not have to deal with this.
The price may be double but that does not suggest they double their investment. Kit plus shipment during the preorders was $344, meaning it seems they have a profit margin of 30%, which sounds reasonable.

Good to have something fresh from Trumpy in our scale after a while, especially when it is a jet. Navy guys will like it I'm sure, whereas I'd be happier with some other USAF stuff like the century series. But then again it's a good thing to see large scale is not totally neglected, if the Viking kit really comes to fruition and no doubt with the option to fold the wings.

It's very relevant for those with the original JA version of the Jetmads Viggen.
That's what I'm saying. It is good for the JA but not for the AJ.
-
The Red Fox 3D panel is for the JA version, with digital screen stuff and like that. The last Jetmads Viggen edition is the AJ ground attack version, with totally different instrument panel so I guess it will be rather irrelevant.

All my efforts to contact have been futile.
A manufacturer having issues is one thing and we are all grown up people with certain life experience who acknowledge things sometimes can go wrong. But the way I would like to identify not responding to anyone for so long will not suit the kind atmosphere of this forum so I'll keep it silent.
It just made me swear that I will never pay a dime again to any individual kitmaker (?) and be very selective about who produces what.

Mine arrived on 11 December, order no was 11994.

Surely AI will never be able to learn and comprehend anything about how critical and nitpicky modelers can be!
Sorry AI, this is a bunch of strange people you will always fail to fool, no job for you here

Hasegawa offering is a good one but it does not come with underwing external tanks. Which is a serious absence for me as these are indispensible to the looks of the Starfighter, imo.
Italeri kit is a newer one and has many positive sides but I find the rivets overly expressed. Also the rivets on the stabilizer surfaces are totally unrealistic and unnecessarrily overdone.

That's a real beauty! The canopies up or down, all the same... The Phantom always looks good.
Your paint job is also great, with just enough level of weathering

Mine arrived last week. It was shipped more than 20 days after such an email, saying the kit was forwarded to their packaging station.
My guess is they are handling many kits at a time, which is maybe normal considering they produce 500 kits.

Thanks, there is a LOT of Internet fraud and I just want to make sure they're legit.
I trust they are a serious brand and they're legit I'm pretty sure, I have the AJ Viggen waiting to be cleared at customs now.
-
My package arrived in the customs yesterday, I expect it to be delivered sometime next week.
The kit spurred a big excitement when the first edition was released a few years ago. Now it is no fresh news. Like when Apollo 11 landed on the moon that was great news but no one gave a damn about Apollo 16
I'll post it here when mine arrives if no one else does until then.

I am truly wondering if Jetmads themselves have anything to say and sent them an email. I'll post their reply, if and when it comes.

That is one beautiful Viggen build..
I prefer the Fields & Meadows scheme but I might have a go at a NMF with my AJ37 kit.
I can't see myself going through all that masking again
Niels
Absolutely beautiful and my second favourite after yours. Myself too will try that with the AJ37.

yup that looks like complete wood grain junkwhen someone called them out on that on their FB page they promptly got blocked
I wouldn’t pay $3 for that let alone $300
how these guys are suckering people to buy their stuff is beyond me
And this one especially, now that you have found my comment on the previous page about metallic finish page to be funny!

Here;
You have to "order" it as usual and then You´ll get an order confirmation by mail.
Stefan
I doubt you can place and order now. I bought all of their kits so I think I know. This is the reservations announcement they have made, you would need to let them know with an email and they confirm your reservation. Then some time later the preorders begin and you can place an order when you will have to pay for the shipping too.
