There's a nice build of this kit just posted on YouTube:

It's in Spanish, but there are English subtitles.

RicardoD got a reaction from Mr.T in 1/32 JetMADS Draken reservations are open March 18

Maybe that's why!
The first one built by Zola25 and the second by Piero on this forum. There are many others on the web as well.

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.

It seems 3D Chute expert has made some magic again - this time its the various F-15 landing gears. I think they look pretty amazing.

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.

Received confirmation of my reservation, and a positive response to my question if it will come with Dutch decals.

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.

I think we all know how capitalism works but are you saying that if I had bought 5 of these kits and sold them on this forum, for twice the price, that it would not be met by just a little distain?

As far as I know there was a waiting list for this particular kit.. if they picked up the kits that did not sell directly I see no problem but if they hoarded them just in order to sell them at inflated prices, yeah, I do have a problem with that..
