Looking at the few kit reviews on-line with images of the kit parts for the Lansen A32A and A32B.  The stores pylons are provided in both kits but in different locations.  A32A has the stores pylons attached to the parts runner with the left and right fuselage halves while the A32B has the stores pylons on the parts runner with the left and right horizontal tail surfaces.  Are these stores pylons identical?  Image quality for me is not showing me the details by which a determination can be made.  Anyone out there with better information?  I would appreciate your help. 

Thanks,

The instructions show exactly the same parts layout, the only real difference is in the resin seats:

Anyhow it appears the major differences between the A and J were equipment related/internal.
Realistically you could build either from the same kit.

Thanks Jon, was not sure as the kit review image for the A32A had the parts on the runners as shown in the parts diagrams and the image for the A32B had the tail parts and pylons on a separated parts runner that was not inside of the two fuselage halves.  Image quality was not the best for either review and since both quantities were identical I was not confident that these parts were the same or different.  So the only differences between the kits is the seats, decals and box art.

Ah Greg, Bob just sent me this photo.  He said you should have someone home on Friday to accept a skid of Viggens.



Via the Tarangus Facebook page. The JA 37 Viggen in 1/72 is being delivered! Find your kit at your local hobby shop or buy it directly from our webshop!

Can't be Greg's, they're in 1/72 wrong scale!

Errr...I know Bob and the only reason he would do something such as that would be to remove the 1/72 abominations from circulation...he needs some more things to chew on after all.
