Nice, having built the Viggen recently I'm quite taken by the flouro wing markings. You've done a great job.

Thank you all! This is only my second non US made jet that I have done. I was rather taken by the orange markings. It really breaks up the vast field of gray. I may get it again sometime to do the camo version as I like that pattern as well.

So, I did not post pics as I went along on this one. So all at once. LOL

Overall, a great kit. The front landing gear is a pain in the ass to put together. That is the only major "fit issue". I wish they would have molded the divot for the nav lights in the wings instead of making you cut them out. And of course, no weapons. I hate that about Hasegawa kits.

I replaced the pitot with a sewing needle cut down to the size of the kit part, which is flimsy as all get out, and no way to get it reasonably straight.

The decals were very nice. They laid down with solva set just fine. I did lose little dots out of the large orange numbers though. Not sure if it was something under them that caused an issue when I ran the q-tip over them or what.

All in all, this a fantastic kit and I highly recommend it!
