OK - I'm calling the Viggen build done. I'm still waiting to hear back from.Special Hobby about the ejection seat decals but I'm not going to keep it on the bench for that. The kits been a cracking build, I'd happily recommend Special Hobby to anyone. The only filler needed was where the nose cone met the fuselage, it didn't sit flush and needed a smidgeon of filler to look right. Every other seam was a near perfect match.

    Well done great result.
    Special Hobby are a funny one from what I notice people seem Ok and not Ok with them at the same time. Maybe it's a sprinkling of some of their earlier kits being a bit flawed. I guess I'll find out when I pull the Boomerang from the stash and start building it.
