Finished!
By far the most detailed kit I have built so far, also really happy with the result.
Think I have found a ne...

Ferenc SarkaThe best ever camo, was the camuflage of the Viggen. I love it. Looking good so far.

Jason MarsonI'm building this kit at the moment. You did a great job on the camo masking. I'm using a masking set from DN Models, but it hasn't made it any easier! 😂 The kit itself is beautiful with fantastic details for a 1/72 scale one. I'm definitely going to buy this in 1/48 soon, though not sure if I'll attempt the camo again, 😂.

Thomas KolbEvery time I see one of the Viggens with its lovely splinter camo, I feel the urge to start the ones in my stash. Beautiful work, especially considering the completely manual tape masking method!

Michael KohlMy mates said it all. Nice job.
The new kits from Special Hobby are really gems (I build the Super Mystere which was really lovely), but the more you go back the better a modeller you need be. That shows what an impressive development they made.

Sebastian ÅgrenThanks for all the kind words! 🙂
@Jason: I actually bought a masking kit at first as well, but I couldn't get it to fit and eventually managed to rip it.
@Michael: The Super looks cool as well! Would be nice if they released a Draken and Gripen as well. I haven't built any of their older kits, but this one had almost zero fit issues.

TreehuggerHrm, I have this Iwata HP-CS Eclipse 0.35 airbrush and I am stressing a little when trying to airbrush on some camo (without masking). I didn't want to use masking tape and I don't have any camo goo to spread over as masking either.
Like with my other attempt with this other tank I think I have to airbrush on desert yellow over the darker colors and try correct the shapes of the camo. The big part on the side and the wheels arent' glued on.
I've never done this before (I used masking tape the last time I worked on a tank), I think I have to make sure the Vallejo Air paint is thin, and then try lower the psi way below 20 psi and try get close to get a crisp line when airbrushing. And I don't want to take off my needle guard to get closer, as I don't want to bend the needle tip, again. 🙂
I didn't want to make a WIP album for this, just another side project.

TreehuggerQ: Might it be a good idea to draw on some lines for the camo pattern with a pencil, or will the pencil shine through the camo paint? Anyone tried that?
3 July, 12:35
TreehuggerI think I can reply to my own question here.
I think one might as well use a single camo color to outline the pattern for all colors, and then because the paint is thinned out, the initial pattern will easily be covered with more layers I think. I wish I thought of this earlier. 🙂

a6a80871Does anyone know the function of the three rows of buttons is (at the back of the cockpit tub) on the 1/48 Tamiya model is? Just curious...I'm building it now and the instructions to mention it other than suggested colours for painting.
1 July, 19:33
a6a80871Thanks! My bad! It is the Tamiya model of the F-35B (Item 61125). I think spell cheque mangled my second sentence (above) but there are three rows of what appear to be buttons or switches....I just curious about their functions? 😎
2 July, 21:36
gorbyDon't know if this will help or how accurate it is. It's a user manual for a F-35 flight simulator. Cockpit info starts about 1/3 the way though (Note to Microsoft, page numbers would have been useful 😄 ):

a6a80871OK thanks!!! When ever I'm appalled by terrible things some people get into, I'm always amazed and stunned by all the wonderful things that people do. What a nice thing. I'll read it and let you know if I find the answer🥇

gorbyThat's a very nice thing to say, thank you. I try to help this lovely community when I can - it only took about ten minutes on Google and as I'm retired time isn't an issue. 🙂

Thomas KolbThis Fulcrum looks great! Keep it coming! Did you find out what was the reason for the problem with your airbrush? Have you tried replacing the silicone seals in the nozzle? If they leak in even just a very small amount of air, everything goes wrong.
30 May, 20:02
Cristian AGood morning Thomas!
Thanks, I hope I will finish the Aggressor Mig-29 over the following days, it has a very nice decal design.
The airbrush problem was complicated, it was initially clogged (I'm blaming Humbrol acrylics for that, I always take good care of the airbrush and clean it after each spray) and while trying to clean the nozzle with a needle I enlarged the nozzle head bu mistake. I changed the nozzle and needle and the airbrush sprays beautifully now, decided on using Tamiya/MRP and Vallejo paints for the new projects.
To get to the root cause of the problem I still need to use the old needle in the new nozzle and the old nozzle with the nee needle, as a needle can be bended without easily noticing.
