That's one interesting camo scheme very well done
You sure have a nice collection of models. Hope we see them live one day

ahh.. one of the Swedish aircrafts that I've seen every time I was at the airport. And I might say that you did a splendid job on the cammo!

A great rendition of a beautiful aircraft, really well done. That is not an easy scheme to reproduce. Brilliant job.

Re: Heller 1/72nd Saab Viggen
One question, on the right side of the aircraft right at the middle of the wings there I'm missing some black/brown in that big patch of green in the cammo.
It might be me, but looks a bit odd!

Re: Heller 1/72nd Saab Viggen
Thanks for all the replies!! Here's a picture of the real aircraft:

My replicated scheme is not perfect, but I tried to keep as close as possible by scaling up the Heller instructions and cutting masking tape on it. Here's a scanned photo of it.

Very very nice work - and considering the masking and retouching it must have been quite a daunting task. Just love your clean work - I tend to identify with modellers who like me do not go to the other side with the weathering...

It's close to perfect! And you have done a helluva job on it!
