Rainer It's a two-way thing Rainer...our praise keeps your mojo flowing, which in turn inspires us to improve (even though I have not yet followed your lead, but that will happen in the future once I complete my (long drawn out) master pattern work and a model build for a friend, then my time is my own! ).

JMcD Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Man, what a build! Absolutely gorgeous work you have been doing with all these details. Now even more excited I am, waiting for the Jetmads kit. I think I'll start a build directly when it arrives, having seen your great model here.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Here is a small update on the Jaktviggen. I did all the missing details on the thrust reverser. Not much to show, but it was quite a bit of work. Unfortunately it is not as clean and precise as I had hoped (and the macro lens reveals it all ... ), but it was the best I could do. I consider the thrust reverser done and will proceed to the wings and main gear wells. Here are the images of the thrust reverser (again, the lighting is crap, but one of these days ... wait, Ive said that before, haven't I ? ) Thanks for looking!

Anthony in NZ Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Rainer, people like you Peter and a few others around here really have the 'X' factor when it comes to this kind of work. Every time I see an update, I just stare in awe, and then stare some more. Just beautiful mate Rainer Hoffmann and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Hoffmann Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) Thank you very much, guys. I didn't polish the aluminium, as Peter does on his models, so the panels look a bit unattractive and messy. But I don't bother, because the Viggen will be painted in my favourite two tone grey camo anyway The reverser section will go into storage until final assembly. Meaning for years, most probably ... Thanks again for your continued support.

Don't worry about how long it takes to complete this project (or should that be Projekt?) Rainer, as it is a unique one of its kind model...quality takes time.

And I hope with some paint on it will perhaps look quite ok. Cheers Rainer Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Lund Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Jawdropping work there !!! Huge respect... Is there anywhere one could find a "Metal working for dummies" to get started on using metal the way you do ???
