Amrith PunjaThanks Ben , I used the Tamiya Grid Type 10X8 Inches sheet and outlined the camo pattern.

Thomas KolbThis is really a beautiful model and you got the colors pretty much spot on! I have bought the pre-cut masks for the camo for my four Viggen kits in the cupboard, but it is still freaking me out.

Amrith PunjaI was scared to start this kit at first but with this lock down due corana virus and lot of time in hand , began this project took me 8 days for the masking. All colors are Tamiya .

Thomas KolbDo you remember which colors you used? Although the Viggen looked almost kond of blotchy yellow-green by the end of their life, so I guess one can go to town with fading and weathering and stuff...

Jason MarsonI have this kit, but it's still at its black primer stage. I purchased a masking set for the camo but haven't had the courage to start painting it yet. 😂
I've copied down your Tamiya paint guide as it looks spot on with your model. Superb job!

FinnCongrats Amrith, really well done! I used to play around with these VIggens in 1/1 scale and you have really nailed the coulours! I especially like the faded day glow numbers. They usually lasted vibriant a week or so. Impressive
