Superb! I love the "splat" style camouflage, and the overall effect is very pleasing. :thumbsup:

The my first idea was of to paint the Phan-Viggen with a simple overall finish of dark gray FS-36118 as the camo weared by the USAF F-15E Strike Eagle.

The later idea was of to reproduce this camo:


But it was too much complicated so I opted for a simpler version, that I did.

Let's see, it's November.  Nearly the end of the year.  Yep, this might just win Model of the Year!  Fantastic!  Great concept and executed with truly fearless sense of style.

I love the shape and lines of this model, the paint is really different and the sharks mouth really makes it stand out.

the head on view is my favorite... I hope you don't mind me attempting something like this myself someday.  :thumbsup: Great idea!

Strangely, I love myself the Phan-Viggen...

I love it because It's the first time this year that I build a kit straightforward without disasters and the result is come out OK.

I hate when someone read the my thoughts....

I say this because I'm currently doing drawings to see if is possible to do  a mix with a Phantom and... an E.E. LIGHTNING.

Two engines as in the Phantom but mounted one over the other...

The result should to be similar at the Phantom/Viggen but with  the engines installed in a vertical row but without canards this time.

I'm not usually into modern planes (post ww2) but this bird looks amazingly cool! Very nice camo too!  :thumbsup:
