Title: USAF Wild Weasel Saab Viggen: Far Model
Post by: FAR148 on May 01, 2021, 08:04:12 AM
This has been my “Secret project” for the past two years. She started life as Special Hobby 1/48 scale Saab AJ37 Viggen and then I added a bunch custom parts.

Thanks for looking,

The Viggen has so much non-Swedish AF potential.

Excellent work!  :smiley:

Outstanding.  Makes me imagine even a subtler whiff of a 'standard' Svenska flygvapnet SK 37E loaded with AGM88 HARM etc

Terrific work. All the components work, colour, fitout and the finish is wonderful

That looks absolutely amazing. The Standard ARM is underused on models IMO, and it just adds to the hulking look of the Viggen. That shark-mouth and all the stencils and decalling just make it look like it means business, and that camo is just *chef kiss* Fantastic work as always.
