**** DONE: Ja 37 Saab Viggen (Jaktviggen) of F 13 Norrköping GB

[Airframes]

Got a bunch of detail shots for you David. I'll post them later when I've finished re-sizing them. Boy, it's a big beastie that Viggen, and the nice bloke at the museum let me over the barrier so I could get up close!
Here's one to be going on with.

Rather than take up space and clutter your thread David, I'll make a separate thread in the general Modelling section. There are 25 pics, so quite a bit to go at!!

 

[Catch22]

Very nice work David, it's a cool plane!

Nice work old boy. Having now seen the real thing close up, I can safely say that it's going to be a real t*** to mask and paint the model!!
Good luck VB !!!!

 

[Lucky13]

Not looking forward to do it three times.....TSR-2, F-53 Lightning and Buccaneer!

D*mn you crazy 'what if' ideas...!

 

[Airframes]

Not my idea old boy. Er....or was it....?

 

[Lucky13]

I'm sure it was.....some conversation over some good quality beer that went haywire or whatsit!






.....and there we have a Canberra in splinter camouflage! HELP!!!

Here's another good page for the cockpit.... Saab Viggen Walk Around

 

[B-17engineer]

Hey Jan did you find out if your using paint or not to paint the splinter camo?

 

[Airframes]

Nice find old chap. The chappie at the museum offered to get the ladder up to the cockpit, but as I wouldn't have been able to climb it, I politely declined! Bl**dy arthritis !!

 

[B-17engineer]

Dangerous move by him...you would've flown away.

 

[Airframes]

He He. I think it might have had some fuel in it - see the pic of the belly tank in the other thread!

 

[Lucky13]

Had it been a Lightning....that wouldn't have mattered, would it old boy!

 

[Airframes]

I would be up in the wild, blue yonder mate!!!!

 

[Wayne Little]

That scheme is gonna be real nice......

 

[Lucky13]

Hey Jan did you find out if your using paint or not to paint the splinter camo?

After careful consideration, checking with the public opinion and democratic voting, I've decided to go with paint.....

 

[vikingBerserker]

I'd been traveling for a few days and was just able to get online today. Thanks Terry and Jan for the info and reference material!! I'd used a conversion chart for the paint but I think I need to double checks it.

Terry - I'm JEALOUS you even got to touch one!

 

[Airframes]

No probs David. Have you seen the pics in the other thread?

 

[vikingBerserker]

Indeed I have my friend!
