1/48 Airfix Saab Sk37E 'Stör-Viggen'

Gallery Article by Stephan Mühlberger on Sept 24 2009

Here is my latest project, a Saab Sk37E Viggen in 1/48 scale. I started with the Airfix kit to model a never seen Two-Seat-'Stör-Viggen' in this scale. I used from the aftermarket one Cockpit-Set from Neomega for the Front Cockpit, the Resin Nose from Pisco Models and from Maestro Models the Resin U95 Jamming Pod and the KB Pod.
The rest was OOB with a lot of scratchbuilding inclusive the Backseat-Cockpit.
The Canopy for the Backseat-Cockpit is a right formed Eurofighter-Canopy of the same scale.
The Splinter-Camo was realized per airbrush and masking with Tamiya Tape.

It was a hard work to do, but the result is worth the trouble.

I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers
