John_W Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Very nice. I am conflicted by the Viggen, I realy want to build one, but feel that the only scheme for one is Splinter. Your build has tempted me to believe otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Very nice. I love the look of the Viggen, sleek but brutish at the same time. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Jumbo Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 You hand painted Tamiya acrylics? 😳 👏👏👏 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I like that. Is that a wash applied on the inside of the UC doors? It looks like some nice detail moulded in there showing. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Steve- Yumpin' yiminy, that's a sweet Viggen! Best-built Swede since Ann-Margaret! Cracking job on the old Heller kit- looks pretty darned good and it's brush-painted to boot! Well done! 👍 Mike Edited March 16, 2020 by 72modeler corrected spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much agreeing with what John has said, that is a stunning result Steve, grey plane not withstanding, it is very colourful. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Very nice indeed. The Heller kit was favourite of mine and hand painting that splinter camouflage just had to be done. I was very pleased with my efforts and felt the effort well worth while. Have a go , it's very rewarding. I would post mine but it succumbed to battle damage during one of a couple of house moves and had to be scrapped along with my B57G with its Tomcat canopy.
