Homebee Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) After the 1/48th kits - Tarangus: link1 & link2; Special Hobby link3 (I'm still waiting the Sk.37 two seats variant Link3), Tarangus is continuing its partnership with Special Hobby (link) with the production of 1/72nd Saab 37 Viggen kits. Source: http://www.tarangus.se/2017/10/30/new-viggen-in-172-scale/ Quote NEW VIGGEN IN 1/72 SCALE! OCTOBER 30, 2017 NO RESPONSES FREDRIK UNCATEGORIZED Tarangus and Special Hobby are proud to announce a new Viggen in 1/72 scale For more than 50 years, the Saab 37 Viggen has graced the European skies. Today, it continues to fly with the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight. However, there hasn’t been a new kit in 1/72 scale of this wonderful aircraft for over 40 years. That is about to change! Tarangus and Special Hobby jointly released a new Viggen kit in 1/48 scale a few years ago. A kit that won “Model of the year” from the German magazine model fan and has been praised by builders around the globe. Now, that kit has been scaled down to 1/72. You will recognise all the crisp and wonderful detail from the larger kit, that’s not all.. An extra level of detail has been added, with for instance separate flaps for the canards, different canards for the attack and fighter versions and a first for a Viggen in any scale, a RAM air turbine! The kit will hit the hobby store shelves in the first half of 2018! Boxart by Peter van Stigt. V.P. Edited November 19, 2019 by Homebee 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICMF Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It is literally the same press release, copied and pasted onto a different website. We already have a thread for the Special Hobby/Tarangus 1/72 Viggen. This one is redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tarangus model will be at the end of next month probably. Our models will be six months later. V.P.

Having picked one up pretty much straight from the source I'm sad to say this is not the case in the box. Tarangus boxing only contains the parts to make a JA37, no AJ/SF/SH fin or double seater fuselage included. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It looks nice but I stopped building 75nd scale kits.. But maybe I need to reconsider that? Still happy with my 48th Viggens though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG-Mech Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I got mine, too. Looks good. But yes, they cut the sprues to one version only. I don't care, I will buy more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the Special Hobby kits might be a bit less expensive as well. Not by much, but a little bit. I have enough other kits to work on in the meantime that I think I'll wait for the Special Hobby releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoops Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I really want to build "Petter Gul" the early 2000s show bird with the two black chevrons on the top. Any rumors of decals coming out for that one? Cheers, Hoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably long out of print but if you search for it you might get lucky. EDIT: it wasn't RED Bolt Decals. It's Anders Nowotny who has made decals for Petter Gul.
