Canadian Viggen

Finaly finished the companion for my Belgian Viggen. Her's the Canadian Air Force Viggen, based at Baden Sölingen during the 70's/80's. the aircraft seen here is participating in the 1980 "TAM 80" weapons meet, hence the diffrent zappings on the left fueselage.

Uh? Those roundels look like British RAF, and I thought Canada had reached independance yet... No?

Nice unusual Viggen colours anyway

The Maple Leaf is in there. It's just hard to see in the lower-viz rondele.

Beautiful work!

Ollie, someone could put maple roundels on a Ford Pinto and you would say it looks so right

Just kidding...it does look right! Love the Belgian one too!

Absolute love at first sight!

And I'm not just saying that because it has the "best" roundels the world has ever know (heh-heh)

or because it is a Viggen.

Damm Patrick, that looks beautiful. Ok, next Viggen will be a Finnish one from me, seeing as Ian HG is doing the RAF one.
