Rainer Hoffmann Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks a lot, gents. 18 hours ago, airscale said: This is modelling porn it's as simple as that If this is what the bits you can't see look like, I can't imagine what those bits you can will look like.. I bow in front of you Rainer, simply magnificent Peter Peter, I'm afraid the visible bits won't look any better ... 17 hours ago, Aigore said: Yet again I'm struck with awe!

Cheers, Marcel Ha ha! The problem actually is, that the pics I work from are from a museum bird. And I don't have many pics of JA wheel wells. Unfortunately it seems, that the MLG wells of the different Viggen sub types differ quite a bit. So there is a lot of artistic license involved.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Dear fellow modellers, the second update in one month! This must be a first in this thread Looking at pictures of the right MLG well of a Jaktviggen you could get the idea that the guys at Saab had a couple of meters of pipes and tubes lying around that they just put in some unoccupied space in the MLG well. It looks messy (sixties style ... ). So does my rendition of the MLG well. And, what's more, unlike Jetmads I got the spacing of the stiffeners completely wrong. Sigh. Too late, I won't change anything. As I said in my previous post, nothing of this part of the MLG well will be visible once the main gear door is installed. And that's a good thing. Anyway, here are some pics: I'll install some more pipes and then I will proceed to the parts of the MLG well, that will be visible. As allways, thanks for looking.

Christoffer Lindelav Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I am glad you're making more frequent updates, guess you're inspired by the Jetmads builds going on in this forum? Keep up the good work, I'm watching. /Stoffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigore Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Sweeet! You know, the big belly doors can be open...I mean if you want to show off the tubes and pipes, at least you could leave one open for service. Feels almost like a sin to close a door over all that work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels almost like a sin to close a door over all that work! Yes, I know that the doors can be opened. Unfortunately, because I got the spacing of the stiffeners wrong , the proportions of the pipes and tubes are also wrong. So the door will be closed ... 15 hours ago, Anthony in NZ said: LOL, I shall aspire to this too! Shame it wont be seen, it really does look sensational.

So, if I can do the mighty Viggen justice, I consider to donate it to one of the wings that actually flew it. 13 hours ago, LSP_Kevin said: That looks amazing, Rainer! Kev Thanks a lot, Kev!
