Peterpools Posted August 20, 2021 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? Keep ‘em comin Peter 3
smitty44 Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Huge thread about the Viggen on LSP. They have a facebook page, check it out. 3
Peterpools Posted August 20, 2021 Author 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

Ernie has one on the way. They are legit. Learjet up next. 3
Peterpools Posted August 20, 2021 Author Posted August 20, 2021 Smitty Thanks for the info. Sounds great Keep 'em comin Peter 2
BlrwestSiR Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I've seen one WiP of the Skystreak but that's it. I'm waiting for the Viggen myself so will post once I get it courtesy of our fearless benefactor/enabler. Carl 2
HubertB Posted August 21, 2021 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
mark31 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I have 2 on order normaly begin september the will ship it so cant wait for the kit to be here already have the paint masks And yes i will build the kit im not a colector Mark 4 1
Peterpools Posted August 23, 2021 Author 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? Keep 'em comin Peter 1

smitty44 Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Someone recieved the kit and has pics of what's inside on LSP. It's absolutely stunning. 2
HubertB Posted August 29, 2021 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
Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author 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
smitty44 Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 I would think cyano for the small parts and two part epoxy for the large ones. 1
HubertB Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 AFAIK, the best glue for resin is HPH’s two-components epoxy glue. Hubert 2
Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author 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? Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks Hubert - going to place an order. Peter 1
harv Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 I got some a year ago. Saving it for my Fisher kits.....harv
Peterpools Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 Harv I was just on HPH's site and can't find the epoxy. I'll send them an email and maybe I'll get luck. Keep 'em comin Peter
