@loupgaru: Yes, and to be a bit in the Lufthansa 1903s style.

The Junkers 707 is now wheels down:

Now work starts on the decals.

My engineer is back in town so lets start something new:

I always liked this plane, but I wonder how it will look in Luftwaffe colors....

Luftwaffe 1975 or Luftwaffe 1946?

1975. Or later. Have not decided which camo scheme to use.

Luftwaffe Norm 72? Green/Grey splinter on top and silberwiesse undersides,

I'm sure Airdoc do some decal sheets for Norm 72 Phantoms, bound to be a squadron you could use on there.

Cool project, bud. This ought to be good!!

NARSES2 · February 05, 2018, 01:17:06 AM

I always thought that was such a futuristic looking aircraft back in the day when it was unveiled. Will look good in Luftwaffe colours

I think that one of the later Norm '81 schemes should work well on the Viggen (it's lines are very similar to the Phantom)? It would also match the potential time frame.

Who's this 'Norm' guy you're all talking about?

nönöbär · February 09, 2018, 06:32:34 AM

Well, I guess I will go for Norm83, I like those colour on a plane.

Which brings me to the next issus: Decals. As my decal box has no modern Luftwaffe ones in it anymore - does anymone have an idea where to get some 1/72 scale Bundesluftwaffe decals. Phantom or Starfighter. Searched for it in the web but was not succesful with it so far.

That's gonna be so cool in those colours

HaHen, from which the profile above was taken, is actually a decal maker. Peddinghaus Decals also comes to my mind, but these will be VERY thin short run decals on a continous carrier film. And there are several other aftermarket sheets available.

I did not know the HanHen, but they seem to have what I need for this kit. I have used Peddinghaus before for some 1:144 scale models, but so far I had no problems with them. Just had to be carefull in cutting them out.

For decals with transparent backgorund, I would make them myself, but for white ones, this does not work.

I've managed to do that in a limited number of cases, but only some designs work like that.

Trimming the edges of white decal paper is best done at an angle, with the point of the scalpel pointing underneath the decal area. That minimises the view of the edges of the white decal paper when it's on the model.

Carnival and vacation time is over, so my engineer could continue with the models.

While waiting for colors and decals, the basic work on the Viggen continues:
