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, I'm afraid the visible bits won't look any better ... :coolio:

Incredible! Did you pick those parts off of the real deal in the museum?

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.

Dear fellow modellers,

 

the second update in one month! This must be a first in this thread :rolleyes:

 

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:

MLG_well_06.jpg

 

MLG_well_07.jpg

 

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.

 

Cheers

Rainer

  • Rainer Hoffmann changed the title to JA 37 D(I) - 1/24 MLG well – some plumbing 21.11.21

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!

LOL, I shall aspire to this too!

Shame it wont be seen, it really does look sensational.  I still look in awe that this is all scratchbuilt!  This will need to be in a museum when you finish 

Stunning

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.

Don't keep your expectations too high, Stoffe. I am not sure that the updates will be more frequently in the future ...

 

Cheers

Yes, I know that the doors can be opened. Unfortunately, because I got the spacing of the stiffeners wrong :BANGHEAD2:, the proportions of the pipes and tubes are also wrong. So the door will be closed ...

Well, actually I have no idea where I could display this big bird in our home. So, if I can do the mighty Viggen justice, I consider to donate it to one of the wings that actually flew it.
