Peterpools Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just received a newsletter from DN Models and low and behold I read about JetMads for the first time. www.jetmads.com Their first run of 500 units of the 1/32 Viggens and Skystreak sold out in what seemed an instance to me and a second run of Viggens is supposed to be ready for August (?). Their releases are amazing but with production runs so short, Pre-orders are the only way to purchase a kit - which receive a 20% discount. I assuming the only way to pre order a kit, is to keeping checking their website as to when a kit will be available. One planned aircraft that caught my eye was the 1/48 B-47 and a number of other as well. Anyone have one of their kits or have any first hand knowledge of the kits and the company?

smitty44 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Huge thread about the Viggen on LSP. They have a facebook page, check it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Smitty Has anyone actually seen a built up model or even received the pre-ordered ones? I'll be checking out LSP in a little while. Just seams too good to be true Keep 'em comin Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HubertB Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Seeing one build thread out of 500 produced sounds about right. I skipped the Viggen, but got myself registered on the preorder list for the Learjet and Skyrocket Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Mark Nice going and can't wait to follow your build. Does JetMad have a mailing list or newsletter so you know when pre-orders are being accepted or do you need to just keep checking the website?

HubertB Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The preorders for the second batch of the Viggen, and the Learjet have just opened ! I placed mine for the Learjet . Delivery advertised as February 2022. Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just ordered my Viggen and have my precious order number. maybe a group biuld will be in order as so many have been purchased. One question I have seen a number of times is the recommended glue, as I'm not sure myself. Any ideas? Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I would think cyano for the small parts and two part epoxy for the large ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 AFAIK, the best glue for resin is HPH’s two-components epoxy glue. Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks guys for the information . So I am assuming the model is all resin. The only resin kit I've built was the Fisher Sea Fury and I used CCA throughout the build. Hubert, if I go with AFAIK, does HPH sell it?
