I missed out on the interceptor version of the Viggen, which I would probably rather have, so I'm going to build the ground-attack variant because it's available and I'm in the queue (just got the update email the other day that all is on schedule). Yet if I had my heart set on the interceptor, well, I'd be hocking everything in sight. Edited June 8, 2023 by Bill Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The Viggen that recently sold was mine. It was listed for cost + fees which I trust was fair. It went for USD470. Let that be the market price. kalashnikov-47 and Scotsman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that be the market price. I'd say that's very fair, and a good indication of current market price, allowing for some fluctuation. Likely in the $450-$500 USD range I presume for the foreseeable future. Now, can we discuss the $466 price tag on their upcoming 1/48 P2V Neptune kit? Oomph. My hopes of converting one to a firebomber at that price are in the negative quotient unless someone wants to gift me one :-p - Dennis S.

Violator1991 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I don't know if it is the right topic to discuss the Neptune under or even the right scale but $466 price for is a reasonable one, I'd say. It includes shipment which is $82 and payment can be split in half. The plane is a very big one even in 1/48th so to me it sounds ok in every way. I have reserved three copies, given the rarity of the subject in that scale and the fact that their second hand market is a juicy one, though this is not my priority.

Finally I found one from another modeller in my country for a price not very far from the original one. So this is possible.

AnthonyWan Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 If anyone is serious about acquiring a Viggen kit, I have a second one that I will not be building. 7 hours ago, MJL said: The Viggen that recently sold was mine.

So this is possible. I can live with the FB version. Another LSPer offered me the fighter version, but the price was more than what I wanted to pay. And I don't blame him AT ALL, since I sold my WNW kits for 3x what I paid. Supply and demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 Well it looks iike the kits will be on their fairly soon now Quote We are pleased to inform you that the shipping of the 1:32 AJ37 Viggen kits will start on 08th September. By the experience of the previous releases in general, we expect the shipments to start with 20-22 kits per week initially and reach an average of 38-40 kits during the following few weeks, whereas the shipments are scheduled to be completed towards the end of November. Perhaps this will finally end my months long slump RicardoD and Bill Cross 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had known they would release this as well, I would probably have made a Grey JA37 and made the AJ in the splinter camo.. /Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I went back and checked some images I took at the latest Danish Airshow.. I thought it was a JA37 but it is actually an AJ37.. Maybe I should give it a go.. Cool display routine btw.. Bill Cross, LSP_Ray, Kagemusha and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
