OK, here's the Viggen, especially for Toad and Patrick: Heller kit, fuel tanx from one of the Japanese (Heller) Mirages I built in the Spring. Dunno where the 'winders came from and the SkyShadow pod was donated by an unsuspecting Hasegawa Tornado.

Paints are Xtracolour enamels as usual and the decals came from one of the (three) Italeri Jags lying in the stash.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Speaking of Viggens, is the Airfix 1/48 any good or is it the old ESCI molds?  How about 1/72 - any good ones there??  I'm getting sooooo many good ideas!

That is a very well done WHIF sir!  

IRT the Airfix 1/48th scale Viggen, yes it is the old ESCI kit.

Great stuff Ian!

There is something immensely correct about that camo on that bird. Now, if I just had one laying around to put that camo and Swedeish roundels on....

Thank you all for your kind, kind words, yes Dork dearest, we can Photoshop the beast, whatever that means.

I'm ready for my close-up now Mr. Radish.......
