I was contemplating this evening buying the revell 1/48 JA 37 and taking the gun off that and the decals as an inexpensive solution also. The whole kit is the price of some decals.

PeterB Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I had always thought that the darkest colour in the Viggen splinter camo was black and IPMS Stockholm seem to agree, though I have seen some articles saying a dark black green and Christer's pic above seems to confirm that though I guess it is faded? I was going to use "Nato Black" if I do that scheme, but now I am unsure. Thoughts anybody? Pete Edited January 10, 2020 by PeterB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to use "Nato Black" if I do that scheme, but now I am unsure. Thoughts anybody? Pete It's not a pure black, more like a cross between NATO Black and Rubber Black. I have heard it talked about as almost a very black green. The Mr. Paint colour I used is very much like Rubber Black (Tamiya). Plus with the additional fading they seem to all have.... you could almost get away using it as long as you fade the other colours as well. 1 hour ago, Dansk said: Its all the extras i need right? 👍 i don’t know if my aj kit has the extensions? Im not entirely sure what Im looking for to be honest Can you tell from the instructions / sprue schematic here?... https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/3/4/1/1164341-57-instructions.pdf Ok the Tarangus model comes with all the bits you need to make any of the Viggen version, where as the spacial hobby model only comes with the sprue required. You'll need this sprue to do the JA-37 version. It came with mine but there was no mention of it in the instructions, note it also has the gun pack you need. The "oval" shaped bit is the fuselage plus you need it goes between the 2 main fuselage sections. Now at the risk of starting a rant about Tarangus model.......the instructions for it and the AJ-37 was very poor and forgot to mention for my build that you also had to remove a small section of the front fuselage section spine as well to get it to fit. As the Special Hobby model uses the mounds this ''extra" bit will still be there. You'll see what I mean on the inside of part 101. You can have these bits if you want as they are no use to me, just PM me if you're interested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that they are crossing out the AJ fin an instead pointing out the JA fin? Oh well, at least the color profiles are right. It seems you get the 4-finned fuel tank as well, so you just need the extra little sprue then 8 hours ago, PeterB said: I had always thought that the darkest colour in the Viggen splinter camo was black and IPMS Stockholm seem to agree, though I have seen some articles saying a dark black green and Christer's pic above seems to confirm that though I guess it is faded?

Repaints are extremely rare, and after 20 years of use the colors are all over the place.
