JA37 Viggen, Jetmads 1/32

Frying the Bacon!

I´t Sunday and time to have fun with the exhaust!!!

 

First some of this SNJ aluminium powder....really good stuff!

 

 

 

 

Used a dry brush and well...drybrushed it on edges and rivets and anything protruding

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next a round with AK black pigment! I used a medium round brush to make streaks in the tunnel and get it into crevasses and around details. I used lots and it´s easy to wipe off where you put too much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next to get some colour I used mig City Dark Dust ( a little favourite of mine) and a lighter earth tone pigments. I applied it with a little more thought than the black to get nice streaks and really hot metal feel. (you see now why I based the exhaust in such a shiny metal colour a I did)

 

 

 

 

 

Then I glued the nether paddles into place.....

 

 

 

 

And the AB-ring found its spot.

 

 

 

 

 

And the contraption was then glued to the exhaust tunnel.

 

 

 

 

And that was then glued into the tailcone.....upside down as it turned out, it does matter apparently

 

 

 

Looking good!

 

On with the droopy paddle....

 

 

A little cleaning was needed....

 

 

 

so i BROUGHT FOURTH THE DREMEL! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

 

 

 

 

This is where I discovered that the tunnel was glued in upside down and....well I needed to fix that.

 

 

 

 

 

And with that the fit was ok, there is still a big step all way round since the tail cone is smaller than the fuselage...and the seam is atroscious.

Well that´s for another day!

 

 

 

 

 

Todays progress.

 

 

 

 

Cheers!

Fantastiskt snyggt och inspirerande bygge!

Tänkte försöka hugga en Draken. Hoppas det blir några roliga varianter av den.

Jo, en Draken skulle göra sig bra i samlingen hoppas på en F/J....och aningen bättre ekonomi.

Seeing the Viggens you and Mark are building, I would really very much have regretted if I had not bought one.

You are both doing very good stuff with this beautiful kit. The tail cone itself, afterburner and paddles thingies are really awesome! 

This is truly a new definiton for 'resin kit'.

That’s a nice sequence you gave us on how to do the exhaust. Wonderful! Will try that out as it looks really sweet.

[Paramedic]

Well, I have praised it on the other forums already but - superb.

I am on IPMS Gbg. (Tobias) - not often on IPMS Stockholm though, just not as fun..

 

Yeah I have been thinking about it..

 

Glad you jumped on the kit as soon as it arrived (well, almost!)

Most impressive, I like your attention to detail.
