JA37 Viggen, Jetmads 1/32

I think your Viggen looks so nice, not knowing you, this is beyond my expectations as I did not imagine the camo scheme looking this nice in the end. I myself am set to having a metallic Viggen with mine from the second batch, but I am sort of conflicted now. :) A white Viggen is also an option of mine.

Thanks Treehugger :D

A NMF will be hard to achieve on this model because of the printlines from the 3D printing process. They really mess up the surface and EVERYTHING will show in NMF. Go with the white lady probably easier.

"Hallowed be thy name" by Iron Maiden can go just fine too, I think :D

 

Not a bad choice either... :punk:

Yes, I almost forgot the Friday update but here it comes!


It stands!


Time to put on the legs on this beast!

It wasn´t a snug fit so I had to sand off a bit to  make this two  pronged fork fit in the nose bay.

With a very satisfying "CHUNK" the nose gear popped into place.....lovely.

Hmmm...what´s this in the groove?

Hehehe...turned out to be some left over tack-it by my own device....whoops.

No satisfying "CHUNK" this time but the struts fits securely into the wheel bays.

And the other one in place as well!

IT STANDS!

Enough of that...

I glued in the  big doors, when a Viggen is parked they are closed but a bit ajar.

Yeah yeah, here´s a few more pics of the standing Viggen :P

There...

Well what's left to do now?

A lot of small stuff to begin with, antennas, lights, rear radar sensor, pitottubes and probes. The slightly bigger stuff are the canopy and the weapons, oh and the rest of the landing bay doors and the ladder.

 

Cheers!

She is a thing of beauty, love it!

Can be hard but totally possible, wet sanding with some fine sandpaper will do it mostly, followed by a couple of primer layers and wet sanding again. Then the black, to be followed by metal shades, as known by all here.

The thing here is, I would easily be tempted and diverted to the beautiful Black Viggen after putting all the kit in black :D

Only thing is that Black Knight is a JA37Di and the current JA37 release is a JA37C.. :)

I too would like to do it but I need decals.... in 1/48  :P

Nice work! Love the build so far!

 

And if we are talking Swedish Melodic Death metal bands, may I suggest the

following……

 

I have a rule about metal singers who scream. Scream all you like, but I have to understand the lyrics you are screaming. If your screams sound like two marsupials/ mammals mating, I will pass…….

Thanks Thor :D

 

 

Hmmm....the music is good but it's something with the singers voice that rubs me the wrong way
