TreehuggerWhat is the significance, or the meaning of the name 'Jacobsen' on that coin in photo 13? Anyone know? 'Jacobsen' is a more or less common surname.
25 October, 06:42
Steven Van DyckThanks for the interest. For Jacobsen see fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famille_Jacobsen , it's apparently a family of infamous corsairs also related to Jean Bart. It even mentions the medal at the end.

Steven Van DyckBoth medals have now arrived. These will be useful as nameplates on the base. One had the description "paquebot Strasbourg", translated as cargo ship, and would be cast in 1950. I started with sanding the hulls to remove the casting traces, these are apparently broken off the sprue leaving two scabs. I noticed one difference, Strasbourg got a degaussing cable. I removed one breakwater from the front deck, taking care not to remove the detail around it. The drilling locations are not very clear, indicator lines passing multiple holes. I started removing Dunkerques sloop rails as I noticed that in the Strasbourg Woodhunter deck there are some PE ones, but now I notice that Shipyard wasn't planning on replacing the plastic rails in their wooden deck. And these rails are lying on the wooden deck, so they're very thin. I'll have to compare very well.

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.

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.

George WilliamsGreat work on what is basically a very old kit, almost as old as the real Countach, which in my view, is beautiful.
