Just a point of pedantry - the RAAF's Lincolns were sprayed silver, not "bare tin". In the environment in which they operated, bare metal would have made them corrode even quicker than they did!

My apologies: I stand erected.

Just received the trustees report from Newark Air Museum and within can be found a comnent that 'the Viggen was lidar scanned and digitised by an external company'

Wonder who thats for?

Nope,you're all barking up the wrong tree.It's going to be the launch item for the new,hitherto unannounced,Eduard range that will go by the name of "Properjob".

 

It will be the correction set for the Esci Viggen in 1/48th scale.There are noises about a 1/24th set as well to compliment the,also unannounced, long awaited and much anticipated Starfix new tooling.

On the other hand, the Viggen has a 34 year service history and appeared in a number of different colour schemes. I believe there is also still an airworthy example that is displayed regularly. There are more marking options than there were for the Swift FR.5, which only flew with 2 squadrons.

Currently 2 Viggens are airworthy with Swedish Air Force Historic Flight.

Gustav 52, which is a AJ (attack) Viggen in the initial unpainted livery.

This year, the two-seater took to the air again. This is a SK-37E Störviggen (ECM jamming) and painted in the glourious splinter camo.
