1/48 Tarangus Saab JA-37 Viggen

[IanG]

My next build, a 1/48 Tarangus JA-37 Viggen.
Plenty of aftermarket, to build a research and development version.
This will also be my first proper commission build, which I am very pleased to have been offered.

Congratulations on the commission Ian - it's very much deserved!

Really looking forward to seeing you bring this one together.

Seat completed, along with the cockpit, and undercarriage struts. I’ve added some lead wire to the struts, for the pipe work.
Resin control surfaces also fitted, to the wings.

Hi John

It’s a resin seat, from CMK. I’ve added some of the PE detailing from the Eduard cockpit set too.

Superb work as usual Ian. Great pics too. Tbh, I’m surprised you haven’t had commissions before now, with your standards!
Best of luck with the rest of the build

Thank you.
TBH I’ve never advertised myself, or offered my services. But I’ve now got 2 requests for commissions, an AMK MiG-31 (from the same guy who asked to build the Viggen, and a 1/48 Lightning T.5.

oooh! i'll look forward to seeing the T.5!!

About to start the decals, and I decided I didn't like the decals for the big wing numbers. They were going to cover too much detail.
So, using Tamiya masking sheet, I made up some masks, and airbrushed the numbers. I used a base coat of Hataka Orange Line lacquer International Orange, then misted a couple of light coats of red. I also did the tail numbers too.
Photos taken on my camera-phone, so aren't good quality.

Panel line wash applied, and some fuel stain wash underneath, then a coat of matt applied.
The last part of the weathering has been achieved with pastels and pigments.
The fuel tank, the pods, and the AIM-9P's, are finished. The AIM-9's are from one of Meng's weapons set, and are incredibly detailed.
Going to start attaching the undercarriage next.
