Violator1991 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I was expecting something good, but this is way better than good! Absolutely Champions League stuff. IvanVasili and mattcour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 What a superb-looking kit! Thanks for posting those photos, Matt. May I add some of them to our Kit Database? Kev Out2gtcha, Eagle Driver and mattcour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I'm thinking all the naysayers of this kit who didn't order one are thinking about now maybe they should have! Christoffer Lindelav, Kagemusha, Paul in Napier and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Driver Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 This kit is like a superbike 1000cc. Scary and fascinating in the same time. If you dare to drive it you might die, but if you don't life is somewhat boring. mattcour, Christoffer Lindelav, Mr.T and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Mattcour, thank you for posting the images of the kit. The photos are crisp, clear and show the kit in great detail. It's obvious that alot of thought has gone into the design of the parts and the kit looks superb. Like many I am eager to see one of these built. I hope you will be able to make an in-progress thread to share your adventure. JetMads deserve every success for bringing this to the market. It would appear that they are selling the whole production run so that alone might encourage them to continue bringing modellers what they ask for. This modern technology is revolutionising scale modelling. Genuinely exciting Edited August 29, 2021 by geedubelyer mozart, Chek, Christoffer Lindelav and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Nice to see, what looks like non-solid resin parts for the largest shapes, so they are maybe all designed to be parts and not solid shapes with excessive weight to them. Note: Maybe I am wrong about this. Ah, so I was simply looking at the photos from the new kit in the previous page, I don't have this kit to look at myself. Edit: Hm, or am I wrong about this? I realized now that some of the resin stuff seen at the top of the box, probably is just the holders for the 3D printed stuff. Apparently the body of the Viggen kit has to big parts, I realize now, there appear to be a cavity here and there, but maybe those parts are solid at the center perhaps. Maybe the guy that posted the photos can show that later after carefully removing the parts, no rush on my part.

Stokey Pete Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Wow! That looks seriously impressive. Jetmads appear to have hit a home run with this kit. Note to self, I must finish my 4 F-16s, I must finish my 4 F-16s. I must not pack them away to start my Viggen.

Treehugger Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) I placed my order today for the second batch and got an order number. Order 10853. Email says that initial delivery for second batch is expected in January 2022. Email also said something about needing new moulds for the second batch, which wasn't explained further, presumably related to cast resin objects. Living in norway, I noticed one thing which probably isn't important and I don't expect any issue at all with delivery. Thing is you are asked for your region and the available region names are the ones that were current just a few years back (now Viken), but not the one used today (Buskerud). Funny thing is, apparently local politicians wants to change this region name back to what it it was (Buskerud). Finding the second batch Viggen for purchase was a little hidden away. Only the 'store' button leads to the purchase page, I guess I expected other webpages to link over to the store page, but not so, but maybe it will be a little different later. Payment went as expected, but I should check to see if the payment went through. Some payment systems automatically lead to 2FA checks, this one, and eBay and a few others, don't. Update: Payment went through: Todays cost in norwegian kroner = 2.082,63 NOK incl. shipping. Then VAT have to be paid probably as it passes customs, 25% + 145 NOK customs fee.
