Update on the Viggen, I'll post the mustang later after I've finish some work on it
So I started it few days ago
Once I primed up all the parts,
I started by painting the cockpit interior neutral green and the exhaust compartment metallic grey. I then glued the fuselage
together immediately there's a tone of gaps need filling
Here's the shot once I add on the filler
The seats were too painted in neutral grey and khaki drab on the cushion
The intakes was next I hand brush it with aluminium before mating it together that too has bad fitting issues
Nothing cant be solve with a help of fillerrr!
To get the best fit when I glued the intakes to the fuselage I removed the pins on the intakes although there were still gaps but I manage to minimize the gaps. Then I glued on the wings of the viggen with surprisingly very little fit issues
Still it needs some filling up
As the instructions asked for some weight to be applied to avoid tail sitting I added some screws and bolts
The nose then glued on to the fuselage it's looking more like a saab viggen now
Landing gears were quite simple to build
The weapons and fuel tank were filled and now looking cool
The canopies are masked up using normal masking tape and the new tamiya flexi masking tape. The pitot tube was glued in and filled too as it have a massive gap jeezzz
So with all that it was ready for priming today afternoon
Letting it to set for a few hours I continued with the paintwork
I started with painting the nose with gaianotes ultimate black
I masked the nose up using the flexi tape and normal tape and I painted it with tamiya aluimium. For the undercarriage I used ak metal aluminium
and here is how the viggen looks like
Thats for the work so far will update more soon
