Rainer Hoffmann Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 That's really looking the part. Great details indeed. If the other parts are as good as those intakes ... Cheers Rainer mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcD Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Received my first copy yesterday, I absolutely loved the details and they look even better here when painted. Very good start, I think this will be a striking model when finished and I will follow with greatest interest. Scotsman and mark31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcour Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Wonderful details!! I have received mine a couple of weeks ago (and published the images of the kit parts in the Viggen topic). Now I can see that the bare resin parts conceal some of the details but here the interiors of the intake looks great with all that rivets, lines and plates after paint. Really well done Jetmads. And of course you are doing a stellar job, Mark. This is likely to be an epic build and I'm looking forward to see how this goes before I start building mine. I am seriously thinking of placing another order now before they are all gone again. mark31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I wonder, might there be any tips or tricks for airbrushing the insides of such a cavity like an air duct? I suppose, if the duct is not too deep/long one can manage to spray the insides. For me using Vallejo paint, I guess I will airbrush on glossy black and then some super thin layer of metallic steel, and somehow make the seams go away, something that has to be dealt with prior to painting the things on the inside. If there is some detailing, like a strip on the outside that doesn't align between two resin parts, I would want to just remove the detail and replace it with styrene. I am also imagining, the possibility of drilling at least two holes between large resin parts, and if aligned properly, it would act as a guiding pin, if inserting a styrene rod into both holes, obviously dry fitting would be necessary and maybe trial and error, to get the two resin parts matching up satisfactory.

Will try to take a new one and the seam isnt visible iff you take your time on the fitting hope this helps Mark Landrotten Highlander and Scotsman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
