Unmasked her... And i think it looks alright. Pre-shade disappeared a little too much at places. The demarcation is motsly okay-ish, better at the front - on the port side. Starboard a bit more uneven but, I will mess it up more if i try to do anything about it.

The paint actually followed the tape at one place, possibly my rough ripping? Under the starboard canard-wing (3rd pic), by those position-lights.. It´ has already been fixed (and I will fix the starboard RWR!)

The nose-flaps took some punishment during the masking.. Might have to have a look at those too.

 

Kind of happy overall, it is still practice with new paints and techniques. I still think it can look half decent if I do not mess up too much, in the end..?

 

 

LOL - trying to figure out why it looks like the demarcation-line is so high under the canard-wing... The light? Probably. I think I have de-masked it so.. Whatever, it definetly goes much lower. (I had to double check on the model.:!)

 

 

Hi Paramedic great builds. What is your technique for the demarcation at the front? I am about to start a Gripen marathon and I now want to do a couple of Viggens after stumbling onto your work, very nice indeed. Love that grey too, I missed what exactly you used for it too please? Many Thanks

Hi!

 

Thanks mate. I used those Slovakian (?) Mr. Paint, I think they are called? I´ll check the numbers for you..

 

For the grey fighter-Viggens you want Dark Grey (033M/MRP-221) and Grey (032M/mRP-220). For Gripens Panzer Grey (5431-17M/MRP-222) and Dove Grey (5431-14M/MRP-223). I made the demarcation line with Blu tac, can´t remember how big the sausages where.. 4-5mm wide perhaps. I was happy with the result and suspect it was more luck than skill to be honest..

Impressive build, Paramedic!

I really dig this version of the Viggen. That Eduard Limited Edition Draken kit has been in my mind for a long spell as well.

Say, is there a reason why you needn't get the Maestro landing gear legs for this one, as you did for your other Viggen build in the WIP section? Just curious.

Work began by washing some parts along with the breakfast-wash!

 A very lucky chap, as my parts would have surely (and suddenly) vanished from the dry-dish rack completely had I left 'em there; you know how overbearing my sheila can get to be with those objects left out of place.

Cheers,

Yeah, there is no Miss here so..

 

Eh, I think I skimped on those legs since I did not have that many heavy AM-parts? Not sure it is really needed on the recce one either but since I have a pair this time I might as well use them..
