Popular Post Calum Posted December 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Probably my last finish for the year. Special Hobby's Viggen with a bit of aftermarket.

Filler Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I’m getting one of these for Christmas. What I’m not getting is the ability to produce a model like that. Sublime modelling. Can I ask what aftermarket you used, how you tackled the camo scheme and any advice on building one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezra Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Beautiful work! I really do like the way you go about things, always 'tip top'! How did you find the kit? Always been reticent to get one, paint job gives me the fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABeck Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 You have a fabulous feeling for the harmony of colours! Self mixed or from the can? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Indigo Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Great work on the details, and the colors look more in harmony than on the real thing! The weathering is excellent, it's very difficult to manage a consistent appearance over the complex, high-contrast splinter scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a list of aftermarket I used over at my blog with some more images ( Link is in my signature.). I used a mask set for the camouflage and tacked it in sections spraying all the colours for that section and then moving on to the next. As for advice on building one. Well just take it slowing a dry fit everything. On 12/17/2023 at 9:25 AM, Wezra said: Beautiful work! I really do like the way you go about things, always 'tip top'! How did you find the kit? Always been reticent to get one, paint job gives me the fear The lit is a bit of a struggle to be honest. Lots of clean up and lots of dry fitting. But far from impossible. Just take your time and you'll get there. Same with the painting 17 hours ago, dimaADA said: Greate work! Tell me please, what color of the washing did you use on the upper surfuse?
