Parabat 1,650 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Fantastic build and masking, as someone else has already said, this is a real page turner. Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL 186 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks guys. I did some paint chipping along the LE: I think I did too much on the intake lips, so I will retouch. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL 186 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 It's gloss coating time. The bottom gets it first. I used Winsor & Newton acrylic gloss varnish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RichardL 186 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 One coat of gloss over the top. I'll spray another coat tomorrow. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 16,655 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Looks great so far.... and it's so far along that it doesn't matter about the new Tarangus kit Link to post Share on other sites

RichardL 186 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I was hoping the gloss coats would darken/deepen the colours, but that does not seem to be the case here with W & N. Link to post Share on other sites
Breaker 1,122 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Really good job on the camouflage, as soon as I saw the one at Newark, I knew I wanted to build one in that scheme and you've really done it justice! Link to post Share on other sites
najkos 0 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I just found this thread, and what an outstanding build it is, I must say! Being a former Viggen mechanic, it sure looks the part. Just one thing though. The fighter Viggen (JA 37) doesn't have the lower anti collision light. So before you go on with decalling, you might want to remove it.. ;-) Just drop me a note if I can help with some pictures (maybe a little late..).

RichardL 186 Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Lower anti-collision light has been carefully removed with a curved x-acto blade. Thanks for pointing this out. The area is then reprayed: I'll regloss the area after decaling. Link to post Share on other sites

flarpen 505 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Very nice indeed. And I love the fact that your doing a F13 machine to boot. That is (was) just around the corner from where i live. /Johan Link to post Share on other sites
najkos 0 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry for a somewhat late answer, but on the following link, you'll find a few Viggen pictures. If you tell me what you need, or you'd like to see, I could upload some more... http://s93.photobucket.com/user/najkos/library/Flygbilder/37449 Regards, Niklas Link to post Share on other sites

RichardL 186 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm still applying all the little stencils to the wing and fuselage pylons. There are so many of them. I still have two wing pylons left to do. Will put up some pics when I'm done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
