I cant remember the base kit, might have been an old minicraft/hasegawa boxing, but here is a 1/72 scale Viggen (with some modifications!) in hypothetical USAF markings.









comments are always appreciated! :)

Gotta love the Viggen!  :wub: Really cool camo scheme!  :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Nice take on the Keith Ferris camo pattern. I like it!

I like it too, very cool scheme! And i also like the CFTs, IMO they don't break up the Viggen's lines too much. :thumbsup:

Real nice.  :wub:

Unusual to see a heavily modified Viggen and it is truly inspirational.  :thumbsup:
Whatever.

Lovely! :wub:

The all-moving canard is also a nice but subtle modification :thumbsup:

Interesting; the splinter scheme looks good in this case, and the conformal tanks/pallets are a neat idea, too - looks very good. Beefy!  :thumbsup:

Very nice.  And you kept my favourite thing about the Viggen - the tandem main wheels.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Not a bad Idea. If we had one of their Viggen jet, we would halved developed one of our own.

Great job Owl!  Agree the conformal tanks look superb.  She would also look great in USAF air defense colors- with a touch of Arctic high viz orange.
