VG 33 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hello Here are three 1/72 Viggen I have just finished. First the AJ-37 from Special Hobby in that particular Swedish camouflage in the 1980s Next the SK-37 trainer either from Special Hobby and in overall natural metal finish. Last the JA-37 JaktViggen in the late overall grey dress but with high visibility numbers. This one is from the Tarangus box, but same manufacturer. Finally the three of them which will be published in Tamiya Model Magazine French edition . Patrick 63 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Superb trio of Viggens! I assume you used masks on that Splinter scheme, any advice on using them as I've got the duo set to do with a dreaded masking set! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Fantastic trio of Viggens. The splinter camo example is my favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hello I made the splinter scheme by means of the Maestro Models MMK7271 masks. I have to adjust a little because they were cut to suit the Heller kit.

I'm mad enough to start a Ukraine digital scheme Su-24 Fencer, & realized how daunting it will be to paint the different layers! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Exactly one after the other so four times and more as I had to correct some places. Next will be a Su-57 with only two colours. Easy !

That's my main worry, having these masks just itching to peel your previous paint off! 😈 Anyway I find I'm not sane enough to paint anything with a simple scheme!

Gunze Aqueous for all except the Xtracrilix light green as H58 was unavailable at the time. Just now, Lightningboy2000 said: Isn't there a digital scheme for that as well?
