Sarah-JaneUnfortunately Fujimi don't include the front spotlights or the wheels seen on the box picture, I'll have to see about getting them form somewhere

Sarah-JaneFujimi have basically just done the Cup car with 5 spoke wheels, strangely you do get non chrome and chrome versions of them, with the different decals, bit of a let down, but hopefully I can source the parts from somewhere.

You can also try to make a ball with tamiya epoxy putty quick type, grind the bottom to fit the mask and then somehow insert part of the lamp into this "ball".

Desert MarlinThe red airframe grease (Made by Mobil Oil) is very apparent. Looks like a good wipe down is needed once all the panels are re-installed! Great detail!

Desert MarlinThis project will have both pilots on the intercom and watching the engine startup process. That is why the same type figure is used in both cockpits. They both monitor the engine to ensure that the EGT and RPM is increasing appropriately. Each has their hand on the control stick to be able to open their MIC as they confirm everything is normal at start. The plan is to have the aircraft loaded with a Nuke (Apache Cruise Missile?). Seems appropriate to me for the days we live in now...

TreehuggerMaybe go for resin seats as well?
Seems like kit plastic never can compete with resin seats. 🙂
Though, I no longer crave for resin interior for the cockpit because of the work, but seats are ok.
9 November 2023, 05:17
Desert MarlinI'll paint these up and see if I can tolerate them. If they are too bland, I have time to change my mind! Thanks for the idea!

Desert MarlinAs I have begun work on this kit, I am yet again struck by the lack of information in the variations and options provided in the kit. For example, the tail tip is not called out that applies to the 2000N version. While the nose of the 2000D is provided in the kit, it has to be modified to make it correct for the 2000N. Oh bother…
20 July, 02:40
Desert MarlinSelected "most appropriate" tail tip and mounted the correct nose to fuselage.
21 July, 20:04
Desert MarlinOkay, now I'm excited to get some paint on this cockpit!!! ResKit, you guys have done some great work with your 3D Resin Printing!
16 August, 18:29
TreehuggerOh, did you fiddle with the nose part to make it match the N version, or did you have to buy aftermarket nose for the N version? I have this kit in my stash, but haven't really looked any it yet.
28 August, 05:43
Desert MarlinI'm using the D nose but converting it to an N version. I'm also closing the "sucker doors" on the inlets to represent an engine that is not yet started... I'm assuming initial hydraulic power is applied from the APU and auxiliary hydraulic pumps have brought the gear door up. I'm going to close the speed breaks for pre-engine start configuration...
28 August, 17:36
Eric ThorntonLooks like BAM has some corrected noses still need the N one. Maybe reach out to him. I could use the corrected nose for this kit also. The Reskit stuff looks amazing.
bam-models.com/produ..2000-corrected-nose/
30 August, 13:57
Desert MarlinThanks for the heads up! The BAM nose looks fantastic! Sadly, the 2000N nose has a pitot tube and does not have the RDY antenna lines. It seems that much of the 2000N systems are somewhat earlier than the -5 systems. Everything I can find on the 2000N seems to be somewhat austere compared with the 2000-5. The ResKit cockpit is worth every penny!
30 August, 14:59
Mr DLike it 😀👍
Nice when the pilot looks like he's actually doing something and engaged with the craft.
30 August, 15:22
Desert MarlinThanks. It's really sad to remove detail from the ejection seat, but that is the only way to get the pilot in place...
30 August, 22:47
Desert MarlinThe pilot is from REEDOAK. They have several different figures in various poses so the realism can be developed based on the aircraft scenario. This model is being build to represent events just prior to engine start.
31 August, 01:50
Desert MarlinRemaining cockpit items:
1. Glass
2. Decals on seats
3. A little more weathering
4. Fix pilot's France Flag
5. Add WSO's Right shoulder patch
6. Check that I can get the canopy actuators in after everything is assembled...
7. Add HUD glass
1 September, 03:07
Desert MarlinThe glass and HUD went in great! I had to lightly sand the edge of the glass to get it to fit snugly into the ResKit frame between the front and back seats. I used 1000 grit and lightly buffed all the way around the edge. Fits perfectly!
3 September, 16:01
Desert MarlinCockpit is done! Looks like the ResKit cockpit tub fits perfectly! Lots of trimming to get the crew in the proper fit. Right now, I think it's ready for final checks before fuselage join. The forward control panel needs some sanding for fit, but it does work. I have left the seats, pilots and control panels loose until final fuselage join just to have "wiggle room" before closing. I was able to adjust the forward control stick to make it match the pilot's hand more closely. Just need to check a few more things and then join the fuselage halves!
4 September, 22:19
Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEverattention aux couleurs sur les notices kinetic etc , certaines sont fausses!
5 October, 11:29
Dave FlittonThe pilots look like they are impatiently waiting for you to finish the aircraft so that they can fly!
6 October, 00:31
Desert MarlinI got the canopy frames in the mail. The "detchord" in the forward canopy is perfect!
14 October, 21:27
Mr DDone a really smart job on cockpit n pilots 😁👍
It will be show peice of the Aircraft so worth the effort,
Did you have decals for the green display screen's ??
14 October, 21:43
Desert MarlinIJN Green is NOT the correct green for these planes. Sorry Kitty Hawk, just not right...
28 October, 01:29
Desert MarlinSmall Disaster. Soured Paint/Gloss has occurred. I'm a little bummed. It takes longer to get everything finished!
29 October, 18:15
Desert MarlinUsing water and a paper towel(s), I am able to verify where the soured paint/gloss has occurred. It has to be removed since the decal process will definitely find the errors during application. If the coating cannot stand water, it will never support the markings...
29 October, 18:20
Desert MarlinPanel line accent applied. Need to review and clean up anything out of place and then apply some poly to get ready for markings! Also need to fix the wing slats on the left wing. The method for mounting these slats is really weak...

Steven Van DyckI started this reconnaissance Viggen project out of an early interest in this plane, while I never encountered a kit of it until I in recent years went on eBay. It will have woodland camo. You'll see I now removed the detail of the instrument surfaces, to be able to apply the Maestro photo etch replacement.
8 April, 00:35
Matti ThomaesWaw, Steven, you never do just a simple build do you, and this combined with the two aircraft carriers, how do you find the time.
8 April, 06:27
Steven Van DyckThanks for the interest and no worries that it will get built! Now the cockpit ispainted and got its Maestro PE. Only I will have to wriggle a bit with the seat, it's out of center.
4 June, 15:06
Steven Van DyckThe wheel bays got some PE. The seat position in the cockpit was offset and I already closed down the fuselage, but the floor could be reached through the sides. I inserted a brass rod and yanked it free, to correct the cockpit angle. I notice more parts that have some unwanted degree of freedom.
9 June, 18:54
Steven Van DyckThe jet exhaust and the trust reverser are painted. I used a chrome tin can as base and then a mix of red and black Vallejo for the burnt steel. Under the reverser I used Green Stuff Holographic because that effect is visible in the reference book.
14 June, 10:24
Steven Van DyckThe wings could be attached with the jet exhaust finished. The fit is good but some clamping is still needed. The trailing edges are a bit blunt and took an hour of filing and filling the gap to be realistic, just like the part under the fuselage. Then the jet intakes were added.
15 June, 23:58
Steven Van DyckCanards are added, but not the ones that were prescribed. The other ones look much better and can have the flaps down. The tail plane was adapted like the wings. Some PE is added.
18 June, 01:37
Steven Van DyckThanks, guys. Today you get the Maestro airbrakes. Nice detail, but there is no space for the mechanical parts that make them work. I might cut into the interior parts to add those. I also scratched a part for the jet exhaust that's not in the kit but should have been in the PE set in my opinion, as it is clearly visible from outside. And then I had an idea for the missing rivets that should be on the wings and the canards. Why not add these with the Mastertools Rivet Punch? That was lingering in my toolbox for a year, now it's very useful.
19 June, 14:16
Steven Van DyckThe airbrake locks are now perforated. The tail fin is regraved and the undercarriage is completed as a dry-fit. I saw one camera-glass is partly detached but I can't get into the nose cone without drilling now to push it back.
22 June, 00:56
Steven Van DyckThe half-relief ducts in the wheelbays are replaced with scratch pipes that are now correctly shaped. It seems Special Hobby had reversed the reference picture and bent the tubes the wrong way around. I found a 2 mm steel wire that was barely bendable into the required shape, and a 1,5 mm aluminium wire that bent far easier for a side duct. In the process I managed to lose one of the landing gear parts.
18 October, 12:25
Steven Van DyckWelcome, today some hydraulic lines and a locking system are added to the wheel wells.
20 October, 20:34
Steven Van DyckThanks, guys, all are welcome. The wheelbay parts that are green are now painted in the dark green camo color. Some modulation was done.
22 October, 11:49
Steven Van DyckBedankt, Kim.
The outside part of the wheelbays and the landing gear are now painted with Gunze 308.
24 October, 10:54
Steven Van DyckThe grey underside is now painted Gunze 308 and then shadowed and highlighted. For the moment the masking is almost done.
28 October, 11:33
Steven Van DyckThe light green is painted with Gunze 58, using some transparent green and citron yellow to modulate.
29 October, 00:27
Steven Van DyckThanks, Marlin, but that is also what is advised by Tarangus as the light green camo color. I have now added the pictures of the rest of the camo painting stages for Gunze green 309, Brown 310 and Nato Black. I painted the wheels using a circle diagram and a chrome rattle can.
31 October, 11:47
Desert MarlinAbsolutely excellent! I was not sure if that was your base coat or in fact a part of the camo. Looks really great! Can't wait to see how the markings come out!
31 October, 18:12
Steven Van DyckThanks, guys, but I have been changing some of the colors. The greens were too different and especially the Gunze 309 dark green had to be more of a light olive. The solution was to reapply the black masking, but most of that had to be remodelled slightly as it doesn't fill the holes left by the other colors. Then I filtered with transparent green, so the light green is softened. For the dark green I only had an opaque filter, but it did the job quite well. If you check the tail image in the book, some of the spots switch color at the panellines and this would mean extra cutting work. I also added the CMK wheels but you should drill axle holes in the brake disks to be able to fix them. I made a dry-fit of the landing gear. The airbrake plates are a brown red composite and I painted the rest and the trust reverser gun metal.
