Keep 'em comin Peter Expand yes Peter i sugest that part B05 (rat bay) will be placed before O14 thats the air intake i think there is room enough to do it that way but dryfit before On 10/9/2021 at 9:28 PM, harv said: Agreed Expand thanks Mark 2
Bomber_County Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Mark, you’re motoring on this, stunning work, congrats 3
Kaireckstadt Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Stunning progress and thanks for the tipps Mark! 3
mark31 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Posted October 15, 2021 thank you all small progress done. the braces between the intake and the feuselage middel part off the feuselage mounted to the front already sanded,and rescribd and some primer on also first airscoops in place the fit off the 2 parts off the feuselage ask for some sanding so take your time i sugset that you place the airscoops after the feuselage whent togheter because the are just at the seam and that will make it harder for sanding and scribbing. That whas it for now. Back to the bench and do some more work on the mirage Mark 7 1
Kaireckstadt Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Great progress Mark. This kit has awesome details. Thanks for the tipps Mark. Absolutely welcome! 3
Peterpools Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Mark Right with Kai, meticulous work and I keep making notes for when I build my Viggem (still waiting). Keep ‘em comin Peter 1 1
mark31 Posted October 16, 2021 Author Posted October 16, 2021 here we go on another update pic haveay time to work on the exhaust but first fry fit and how i will display here time to play around with paint the afterburner ring dryfit off a wing a look at the exhaust And i have to fit more parts its only dryfit Still needs some sanding to get a good fit So thats it for now enjoy Mark 6 1
HubertB Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Gotta say that, in as much as I don’t really fancy the splinter camo, the shape of the Viggen is certainly not only impressive, but quite handsome, in my eyes, at least. Of course, it pales against the pure sexiness of the Draken, but still one of the best-looking of this generation. Nice work, Mark 👍 ! Hubert 3 1
GusMac Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Nice metal effects on the tail end. Does build into an impressive beast. 3 1
Peterpools Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Mark Awesome progress and looking might good. I had no idea how big the Viggen actually is. I like the idea of a display base for displaying the Viggen. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 1
Kaireckstadt Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 The details of the beast are amazing and you picked them all out perfectly Mark! The further you get the more I get nervous to get mine on the desk. 2 1
harv Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 She is a stunner even n this stage Mark. Beautiful work.....harv 1 1
