Two more.

Finally finished. The fourth prototype 37-4

It got a short life. After almost exactly one year it crashed. The forward part of the fuselage could be saved and used to build a new prototype. The 37-7.

37-6 has also been finished. Both are converted Frog/Hasegawa kits.

It made the first Viggens visit abroad at the Paris Air Show 1969. Exhibition number 752.

Finally done with the AJ 37 prototypes. Number seven or 37-7.

The Heller kit was used as it has the saw tooth wings and the humpback spine.

The only purpous built Viggen prototype I'm missing is -8 but that was the fighter prototype. What I have been concentrating on is the attack plane.

I know that they are all present in this thread but I thought that I should finish it this way.

37-6 and 37-7 are from Hasegawa and Heller. The red nose is 37-1 after modifications to wings and spine. It is a Matchbox. That is all of the AJ 37 prototypes.
