The idea is to do it before the intake is fitted into the fuselage.

Exactly!

This might be a stupid question but on the 1/72 Academy Crusader what is the best way to paint the internal air intake to make it look as smooth as possible? to assemble all then airbrush in primer/paint? or to do the deep section, before mating to fuselage? Any thoughts much appreciated
I use the pour technique which is messy but works for me. I assemble the intake but leave the intake fan off or cut a hole if its blanked at this end and clean up a little. Then I pour a thick white house paint into the intake using an eyedropper. The paint is thick enough to cover any seam lines.

The nose that goes!
Horribly ugly if do say so !
But I've never turned down an ugly one before.

Oooh that looks nice!

I've been away from the forums for quite some time. Life getting in the way as it often does. But finally a Friday night free and managed to get this all together and (more than) a lick of filler on. Was trying to sand it but filler needs to dry over night as it kept smearing. Plenty more to do of course, and possibly not enough time but let's see how it goes. Canards dry fitted only.
Definitely Viggen looking now! It looks especially badass and more modern with the recce nose I think!

Taking shape nicely. Seeing it beside the Typhoon gives a good illustration of how big an aircraft the Viggen is.
Yah but the typhoon is 1/72!

Finally got a bit more done on this. She's going to need a little filling here and there but I am adamant to make this a fast build so not too much messing around with it!
And after a few hours work I have something almost Viggen shaped!
Much excitement.
And a shot with little cousin, which I'll hopefully paint tomorrow. (First non group build build in..... a very long time!) Perhaps 4 years or more! It will be Saudi Airforce markings.

Maaaate. Get an airbrush

I always thought this helicopter looked great but the robot with a package on top always made me laugh. (Now you all can't unsee it sorry) 😂

This is a really beautiful aircraft and I will be following along!

I don't have time for this! I don't have time for this! (Too many good group builds this season!)
Let's try anyway. The stash is over filled and needs some slimming.
I haven't figured out which one to build yet. Apparently both (normal pointy nose and the camera laden nose, (ok I don't remember which is which) are reconnaissance aircraft. One is just maratime version with applicable radar. Other one obviously has all the cameras in the nose. I'll probably do the camera nose version (SH right?). Both versions have the splinter camouflage version which I have to do I guess! The grey looks modern and very sleek but if this is the only Viggen I ever build...
There are too many sprues to photograph all of them, but trust me it's unstarted!
Will try paint this tomorrow.
I'm gonna try "blitzbuild" this one excluding the paint job as I don't have time for this in my life right now. But we do these things not because they are easy...

I really should get on with the weapons loads
I usually try make a start early on in the build when the enthusiasm levels for such work are at their highest!
Looking forward to seeing this done!

And me. I've got a spitfire plus an overtree, a mig21 plus an overtree, a tempest (which I'll probably build in the desert GB) and the diminutive but oh so cute Z-37A Cmelak which I doubt I'll be able to put off until this group build.

As my Higgins boat
is progressing well I think it needs a home, so I am am tempted to build a small Dockside Diorama to house. it. This would mainly be in card using Scalescenes materials and in the longer term would form part of my WWII era railway layout. I'll give it some thought and if I go ahead I will start the appropriate thread.
Ummm... WWII railway layout..? a few choice photos would not go astray!

She's looking very blue (remember the Eiffel 65 song?) But in real life it's certainly toned down and she looks more greyish blue.

Nice save and for sure the painted triangles are better than decals.
