1:48 CMK by Special Hobby

 

 

There must still be a fair few of the ESCI Viggens in 1:48 knocking about, but the newly tooled Tarangus and Special Hobby kits are the intended subject to have this small figure set clambering around under.  Arriving in a small blister box with the instructions hidden behind the header card, you get two figures made from five parts of grey resin.  The standing figure just needs an arm added to his left side, while the crouching figure needs an arm and head adding to make the most of the detail.  The standing figure is wearing ear-defenders and is waving the pilot on, while the crouching figure wears a patrol cap and has a bag slung over his shoulder, with one hand reaching out as if he was under a wing checking something.

 

 

Conclusion

Casting a sculpting are both good, and the arms have keyed lugs to make for a secure attachment.  Your Viggen diorama will be improved by adding these guys to give a human scale to the model.

 

Highly recommended.
