That's a really great build and finish Sasa, the masking alone must have been a labour. Top job Sir. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I agree with Gary. This is just stunning work! Who doesn't love a Viggen in splinter camo AND this one is 1/32 too! 🙂 👍

Fantastic job! 👍 Mine still hasn't been sent and you already have it finished. 😄

@John: It has long been sold out. Jetmads only makes 500 of a model, which you should pre-order. Currently it is the turn of the Stiletto.

Thanks, Eric. Yes, I'd been looking at Ebay for these. Jetmads is not a company I know, but having had a look at their website and seeing the prices, I think I'll pass!

Yes, 260โ‚ฌ including shipping are hefty.
3D- and resin-parts are unfortunately always a bit more expensive.

Mine arrived yesterday. 👍 😄
Sasa, do you have any tips for the construction?

Michael Kohl
Yeah. That's the way a Viggen has to look like. Massive.

@eric, yes few of them ๐Ÿ˜„, there are good build topics on arc forums and LSP forum that cover most. The only thing I found very useful is colle21 magic dust instead of putty for all joints specially wings to fuselage and joining fuselage parts. Trim the wings as much as you can to get good fit, you will lose your nerves there but you can get almost perfect fit with good trim, so wings are problem not fuselage. Other than that it is more or less good fit and no issues. Print lines on cockpit are terrible, in the end I didn't bother to remove all of them since you would have to remove all details inside. Masks are very good fit and are better option than decals. Also I used Eduard rockets since one from kit are hard to make to look good.

I have this kit as well with some Eduard resin missiles. I put the 1:32 Eduard missiles together, but I was disappointed by how the many fin parts on the "sparrow" wasn't nicely fitting in the sockets, but eventually I managed to glue the fins on with cyanoacrylate gule.

Nice to see people putting this one together I am a bit slow on my build. Struggling a little with the two big intakes on the inside.

A trick to deal with the stepped resin in places, is adding diluted Vallejo putty, let it dry, then gently sand flush. Obviously this doesn't work well for corners and details, just the larger surfaces.
