tomthounaojam Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi guys!! My recent built, the old Airfix Viggen, it was not an easy built. Took me lots of hard work and dedication. I wanted to make the splinter camo version but realized it was based on the early version and can be made into silver. The kit required, lot of sanding and filling, there were some gaps, and I did some minor riveting and re scribing the panel lines as it was raised one. I used mr.color silver 8 and added pinch of yellow and black for different shading or tonal of metal. I really like the way it has turned out, thanks for looking cheers. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The best treatment I've seen of the ancient Airfix first Viggen prototype. Good work! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivand Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 That's great! I remember this kit (and my slashing a single coat of Humbrol 11 Silver Fox on it (which was still a great paint then, mind you). You made it look like a modern kit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Ivand, Yeah Humbrol 11 is a nice silver too, I used to paint with it, but I ran out of it. 11 hours ago, Spitfire31 said: The best treatment I've seen of the ancient Airfix first Viggen prototype.

stevehnz Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Brilliant job on that Tom, I could easily have believed it was the Tarangus kit, so well is it finished. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 What a blast from the past. My (1970's) effort certainly didn't look as good as that. You have made a cracking model from a pretty rough kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Wow. That looks nice. I made this kit a few times over the years. Seeing this makes me want to have another go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. Thank you, Steve, Tarangus is out of my budget last time I checked it was super expensive, maybe someday in the future. 8 hours ago, Natter said: What a blast from the past.

If I would have made this kit earlier, it would have been a mess for sure, however, through many inputs, learning and trip and trick from this forum gave me enough confident to make the kit as it is.
