AJ 37 Attak Viggen - Splinter-Scheme

[_alfisti_]

Hi guys.

 

Want to show you my second Viggen. Early this year I built the Sk 37 from the Special Hobby Duo Pack, now the AJ 37 followed.

 

 

Some extras were a pilot from PJ Production, pitot tubes from Master and the m/70 rocket pods from Maestro. I used the nice vinyl masks from DN Models for the paint scheme.

It is looking really, really nice but then I am biased.. I did my service right next to F6 and even flew some Tp 84 and Hkp 4 there but the Viggens were gone since about ten years by then, sadly..

 

I think the drop tanks on those AJs were the same colours as the underside. Maybe the AJSFs had their painted another grey later on but that would have been after this one was at F6. But it does not matter, it looks great.

I painted my splinter JA 37 from F13 with the same colours but plan to use those Mr Paint the next time. But I think the Gunzes are fine!

 

Great job!

Lovely build and great photo's

Fantastic! The splinter camo is impressive, and the worn numbers on the top are especially convincing.  Nice job!

Great job!

In fact I used the same grey for the belly as for the drop tank, I think the weathering makes the difference.

I´m verx sattisfied with the Gunze colors, think they match the original colors very well. Only have to take care the next time not to spray the layers to thick, there are little steps visible on the modell, especially under the roundels.

Ah ok, sorry! It looked quite a bit lighter, earlier, but maybe not when i look carefully. oops!

 

I agree on the Gunze colours, they look the part. I too did it, not too thick maybe, but it is a bit tricky with four colours and a mask like that. I think they look better in fact, than those others -  Mr. Paint. But they can be applied thinner I think - and weathering might make them look the part too, perhaps..

 

Yours doesn´t look like they are too thick BTW. Looks great!

Indeed the drop tank looks brighter than the rest of the grey surfaces, I will do some more weathering the next time. Mr.Paint will also match I think, if you look to pictures the Viggen can bee seen in so many shades from fresh painted to faded with no demarcation lines visible in some areas. with no demacartion lines visible in some areas. 👍

Rolling in to the low level attack.  Brill.

If it is the same colour though, don´t bother. Tanks came from all over. I used a splinter-camo grey one for my grey-grey JA and I have pictures of that being done so.. Adds flavour.

 

Yeah, they were in all kinds of states in the splinter camo. I just think I like the look of the Gunzes slightly more but I wanna try those otehrs.

iirc I used Tamiya´s NATO-black for the black and it looks great. On some airframes that "black" is almost, very dark grey. A good match that Tamiya one.

WOW!!!!!  Impressive Daniel.  The masks certainly helped but the effort does not go unnoticed.  Superb photography too. I felt like I was flying in formation with the sexy delta!!!!
