@bughunter - Great with a new kit, looking forward to see this one coming out for sale. In the meanwhile I'm sticking with Skyhiker's philosophy - No kit left behind👍🏻😊

Some progress today. Airframe in place, some additional details to the cockpit with PE seatbelts and some brass rods.

Tackling vacu kits are the pinnacle of modelling in my eyes. I will consider myself a whole modeller only with a vacu kit under my belt. Yet to come...
I love great kits that fall together by themselfes, but occasionally a real modelling challenge is overdue.
So following those who up to the task is a particular pleasure for me. Keep up the good work.

Few thoughts on my own decal making experience: if this is one-of (ie if you don't see yourself doing this again) I recommend to outsource the decal printing. You can supply the artwork (I use Corel Draw, a vector editing program), but the printing can be challenging if you don't have the right printer. I have used inkjet myself for many years but switching to laser printer was a game changer (much sharper output without the bleeding concerns) In any case, any white lettering you can't do on a normal printer as they do not print white color.

Renovation of an 30 year old kit, had this old Dornier hanging around among in my old kits. Going for a rebuild into a Tp 24 in the Swedish Air Force.

Yes, there is quite some stories from those days.
The Baltic Sea was & is even these days an area of many incidents and encounters.
Some day I will try to depict on of many encounters from the Cold War. The project is laid out, just need to get the right Viggen version in order to start.

Nice progress.

Interesting project. I am anxious which Viggen-kit you will be using and which modifications you will incorporate, so that I can steal them, ah, I mean lend them, in future projects of mine.

J35J Auteur
Micheal - steal with pride, I'm happy to inspire!😅
Regarding your question, as Special Hobby & Tarangus kits is the same mold I should go with the AJ, SH or AJS version. Visually it is more or less the same plane. The version mentioned in my project idea is a SH (Recon/Sea version). Going the recon way you will need to add with some additional pods from Maestro models.
You can also check fellow mate Thomas Kolb's Viggen Quadruple build. There is a lot of useful info and inspiration. I think his AJS version have some recon equipment under the belly.

Thank you Michael!👍🏻
Tried to work out the sunshade that you mentioned earlier in the thread but could not get to a reasonable result this time, maybe in the future if I have another go on the 1/48 MikroMir kit. Anyway thanks for inspiration!

Michael Kohl
Looks sleek and beautiful as it is. 🙂
