( it looks really beasty ! ) Anyway ... it seems you might be insane some way : building a Whif to avoid a splinter camo and decalling 200+ stencils ( or more maybe ) ... that's nuts , but it's the reason I love your project. Oh yeah, I embrace my insanity Thanks On 5/1/2021 at 7:27 PM, 72modeler said: That's not a 'What if' model; it's more like a 'Why the heck not' model. That is amazing modeling and entirely plausible. ( Just goes to show the lengths a modeler will go to to avoid painting Swedish lozenge camouflage on a Viggen!) Mike Thanks Mike. I don't know what discourages me more, doing a natural metal finish or Swedish lozenge camouflage? One day.... On 5/2/2021 at 6:34 AM, stevehnz said: That is just wicked, I like it lots. 👍 Steve.

I admire your patience with all those stencils! 8 hours ago, Jochen Barett said: Nice stencil porn! 5 hours ago, Graham T said: Great job. Kudos for applying all that stenciling!!!😬 My biggest worry with all the stenciling was so many chances for silvering. How I manage to avoid it was, I applied a healthy brush stoke of Future where the decal was going to be placed. I only had two or three decals that didn't want to play nicely. With them, I brush on 50/50 Future/rubbing Alcohol mix and stabbed the decal with a fresh no#11 blade. To allow the future/alcohol mix to get behind the decal to get rid of the silvering. Once dry, I respray the flat coat. Thanks again everyone! Steven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano353 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 That's a great idea for a what if and all round cracker of a model, awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I'm in love with this. It's fantastic - enough mods to make it different yet still "Viggenish". Magic! I'm curious to see more of the F-16/Berkut! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
