1/144 Saab AJ-37 Viggen

Did this as a quick build this week. Still trying to get the fingers to work
without alot of discomfort. So I attacked this one with the intention of
it being a speed build (for me anyway). Done in about 10 hours over 2 1/2 days.

I upscaled (whaaaatt?!) this kit from an upscaled kit (1/200) that Stormeagle repainted,
and Cafe modified. The original kit was from Bruno in 1/300. Some errors, most likely
due to the upscale effect, but I accept that.

I had always liked this aircraft in the splinter scheme, and now I have one for the shelf.

This now means I have built more kits in the last three weeks than I built all of last year!

Beautiful! Paper sure makes complicated schemes like this much easier than plastic models. Glad you are doing better.

A quick build? Being that small it would take me a month, if ever. Then my eyes and hands would be hurting.
Non the less
Beautiful build, although small.

WOW nice build !!
Ths splinter camo is indeed rally attractive, more than the grey livery.
The landing gear looks neat !
Best regards,
Ronan
