Bomber_County Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Nice start Mark, storming along…….going to follow this one with interest…….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Indeed a nice start on the Viggen. I hope you will do her in splinter camo. Always liked it more on a Viggen than NMF. The Draken though, I prefer in NMF, cant't tell why. Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Nice start. For a resin - and resin shrinks somewhat, whichever you choose - and multimaterial kit (for instance the tail section is printed, not molded), the fit is not bad at all 👍.

Peterpools Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Mark (I'm the guy in the middle) Way to go, following intently and taking notes as mine (#10890) is still a ways away. Thanks for taking so many in progress pics as they absolutely show the work involved and your meticulous modeling. Which glue(s) are you using and for which parts? I've never seen a kit cause such a stir in the modeling world. Keep 'em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Thanks for sharing Mark. The fit looks pretty good as Hubert said. I'm liking the engineering they've done around the intakes. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert yes indeedbut notting to bad so far we can handel a bit off putty and sanding its a part off the fun Yes the tail is 3D printed but i think the master for the resin also iff you look at some places 5 hours ago, Peterpools said: Mark (I'm the guy in the middle) Way to go, following intently and taking notes as mine (#10890) is still a ways away.

Kaireckstadt Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Wow you have on the bench what I‘m longing for Mark. Grest start and I will follow your build closely. Please reserve a place in the first row for me. As soon as mine arrives everything will be removed from the bench and I‘ll start immediately. Already have the masks for the splinter-camo (DN-Models) and the colors (AK Real Colors). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Wow, the detail on the inside of those intakes really pops in those photos.

Kaireckstadt Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Great progress and the details inside the intakes are stunning Mark! The kit seems to be worth every cent. Can’t wait to get mine in the desk. If you are going for the AK Real Color range I can give you the numbers. They really work great and I use them solely for my builds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaireckstadt Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Hi Mark, here are the AK Colors out of the Real Color Range.
