Georgeconna Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 This one just about finished. A new brand for me called Special Hobby. This is a SAAB Viggen Ja-37. 1/72 scale. As near enough a perfect kit as you can get. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner75 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I remember having a basic Airfix one of those when I was a kid. Thought it was a good idea to use the top oven as a 'hanger' - unfortunately, it hadn't cooled down enough, and one of the wings got a bit 'melty'... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me a a friend who is far from thick though it would be an idea to put a model in a hot oven to make the paint dry quicker. it did not end well. The Airfix one was the prototype as well, Never the in Service jobs and I made that years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOGUL Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 How did you find special hobby George? I have an ms 406 in the stash that seems pretty basic but like the look of their fouga in Austrian markings( 4 of them ended up with our air corps, the other two being the embargoed aircraft destined for Katanga ironically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad kit, Looking at it I thought it would be a nightmare due to the breakdown of the parts but as bit of time and care it turned out a lot better then I had reckoned. This kit was a product from 2019 so modern enough tooling and the 406 is from 2005!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
