coneheadff Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 The resin sets look great, but considering the high price of the kit and all the work and extra money to build a decent Viggen is ridiculous! I will jump off the train and stick with my ESCI Viggen and the resin I already have for that kit. Even with all the extra sets it's still cheaper that the new one.

general melchett Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Well having just finished the Tarangus JA version for Aprils issue of AMW I must say I agree that it's disappointing that you still need to acquire a fair bit of resin (or scratchbuild) to make up an accurate Viggen even with the high price of these kits. I haven't seen the moulds for this one yet but if it follows the JA, and I'm sure it will then the skinny wheels, odd detail on the top of the reverser fairing, poor seats, lack of Weapons and incorrectly shaped canard foreplane surfaces will still need addressing. Don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed building the kit and some of the mouldings, particular the one piece afterburner unit and main gears are works of art but it needed more work than I was expecting considering the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 They added a small sheet of photoetch! Yay! But no weapons :-( Lets hope they add some recon pods for the SF/SH boxing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's the same contents as per the JA-37 boxing including extension ring and (inaccurate) fin. You could build either version, minus decals of course, out of the box, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarpen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 One very important thing they missed is the very prominent central strake under the belly that also incorporates the external fuel tank pylon.That part is not a part of the JA version as it has the gun pod in it's place.
