  1. Many thanks for the link. I´ve posted the question on that forum and wait to have luck with some help. Cheers. Juan
  2. Hi Scott. Here are some pics of the instrument panels on the spanish F-5M Front http://www.aviationcorner.net/show_photo.asp?id=170938 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Spain---Air/CASA-SF-5B(M)-Freedom/0639764/L/&sid=8e42deb147f154df7b521fd83c0bd49a Rear http://www.aviationcorner.net/show_photo.asp?id=171597 http://www.airliners.net/photo/Spain---Air/CASA-SF-5B(M)-Freedom/0598462/L/&sid=8e42deb147f154df7b521fd83c0bd49a I have some more pics on a book that I could scan for you if you are interested. I’m not sure but I think that there are some pics or drawings of the side consol
  3. Hi friend! One more time, many thanks for your words. The fact is that now that I've solved this problem I see this building much more straightforward, so it have encouraged me to open a new panel in the nose cone, that can be seen usually open on parked aircrafts. But I would need some reference pics of the interior. The panel in question is that you can see this photo http://arcair.com/AWA1/101-200/walk200_viggen/part2/images_Niklas_Knutzen/ruf.jpg Do you have any detailed pic of this area? if I can't get a detailed pic I can let it just unscrewed, but with the door folded, like this htt
  4. Hi all! Im here again with a new update. First of all many thanks to Holmes, Janne, Sebastijan, datahiker y Ensafrirpo for your support and interest. I want to clarify that Im no way a pusillanimous not Im looking for people to be all the time pending of my mood. In fact, I,ve had a couple of times when I've been tempted to abandon the project and start with a new kit. A problem has arisen with the air intakes of the AJ version that involved more work than expected and made me lose patience at times. I will show it latter. I have even considered the possibility of leave temporarily the
  5. Wow friend! You are a super fast builder. Great work on that bird, and the paint scheme is one of my favorites. Cheers! Juan
  6. Hi Holmes, many thanks for your words. i was needding some kind of support as I'm suffering some kind of tiredness with this building. Altought all is going well with it, it takes too long to solve such amount of problems. Many thanks again. Juan
  7. Hi Janne. Many thanks for your words. They are very encouraging. Greetings. Juan. P.S. I've tried to send you a personal message unsuccessfully. Your account must be full...
  8. Hello again. I’m here with a new update. These last days I’ve concentrated my attention on the AJ37 kit. As I previously shown, I open an electronic control panel on the right side of the fuselage, so now I will show how I built the mentioned panel. First of all I built the interior frame and the wall of it with styrene strips and sheet. I take care in recreating the correct shape of the interior structure, as it present two different surfaces. Also care was taken in creating the part with the correct depth so as not to interfere with intake duct that will be added later. Then I adde
  9. Continuing with the proccess. I will show how I rebuilt the area where the aileron matches with the fuselage. I glued a piece of plastic cutted to shape the wing where the removed detail was Then I added thin strips of Evergreen to conform the edge (on red on the picture)… …sanded down those edges and drilled little holes of different diameter to better resemble the part. And the transformation is done! I’ve done this on tree of the aircrafts, still pending the work in the AJ37… Well, the step by step procces that I’ve show is from the SF37, and in this pic you can see th
  10. Hi again! Many thanks McCoy and Janne for your support. And now, go for a new update. This week I focused my efforts on solving a problem in the rear of the fuselage. The detail set of Dr Pepper´s Resin is excelent, in particular the exhaust/trust reverser area, but has a problem with the angle of the triangular fairings on the side of the fuselage. These are parallel to the ground, whereas they should point slightly downwards. In this pic you can see the wrong shape... ...and in the following the correct. To solve this problem some cutting, scratchbuilding and sanding is required, bu
  11. Hi again! Thanks Moritz and Janne for your support!! Here once again to show more progress in my build. Just some pics to show how the Ram Air Turbine vane looks once installed inside the fuselage. The first on the AJ-37, still unasembled fuselage… …on the SF-37 kit… …on the JA-37 variant… …and this on the SK-37. In the latter model I installed the rear spine, casted from resin as I´ve said previosuly. Here with the wings and tail dryfitted on place, just for fun. It begins to look like a Viggen… It´s all for now. I will post some more pics at the end of
  12. Many thanks Janne, Moritz and Clif for your praise words and encouragement. Lately I had the impression that my thread is not very interested for the people in this forum, giving the low numbers of comments in response to my postings... Always is nice to know that somebody is interested in your work... Many thanks again. Cheers. Juan
  13. Hello again! First of all, thanks to Aigore for your comments. I already know that the engine front will not be very visible troght air intakes, but I had to try it anyway…As you said we are modellers… Now, for the building… I painted the four RAT vanes, with the intention of installing them on its place inside the fuselage… ...and started to add the missing pipes. Those tubes are not present on the resin part due to the limitations of the moulding/casting process when it’s done â€at homeâ€. Anyway those pipes are easily installed thanks to those little holes at the left of
  14. Hi everybody. Im here one more week, with a new update. Im traying to work simultaneously on the four aircrafts, so Ive been installing the nose cones and front wheel wells on the SK and on the SF. Here is the SK with the parts in place and the joint filled and sanded smooth, still pending of some rescribing And this is the SF with its the lateral camera fairing also in place. After some retouching to fix the missing details on the prepainted PE, Ive also installed the cockpits on the SK37 This about the SK and the SF versions… AJ assembly is somewhat different because,
  15. Hi Janne! many thanks for your words. How are you doing with your Viggen? Want to see your progress! Greetings. Juan
  16. Great work on the cockpit, Jeremy. The Prowler looks a stunning jet to me, one of my favourites, so I´ll watch out to your proggres. Cheers. Juan
  17. A promissing thread... I´ll watch to it. Juan
  18. Hi David, many thanks for your praise word. Viggen is one of my fovourite jets so I´m trying to do this project as best as possible. I still have a lot of work to do on them, but now I´m feeling that I´m progressing on it. Greetings. Juan
  19. Hi Aaron! Great work on the cockpit! It's realy impresive. About the Hasegawa future release on the F-15I, I would better wait to see a review of the kit. It could be it's older F-15E (that as everybody knows it's just the prototype of the Strike Eagle instead of an operational aircraft) with israeli decals. Greetings. Juan
  20. ...then I concentrated on detailing the front end of the spines, that will conform the area behind the ejction seat on the cockpit. As with other scratchbiuld details of the pit I made them acording to details on the Neomega pit I also added the modified periscopes for the SK model. They still look a bit larger, so I will rework them lately. With the spines detailed, I positioned the cockpit on the fuselage of the JA model and added the spine And now a little announcement, I´ve spoken with Max Nykvist, the owner of MaestroModels. I will pass the masters that I´ve created for
  21. Good morning everybody. I´ve been a little bussy lately and and with little time for modeling, but I've managed to get some progress. To break a bit with the monotony in this project I change from time to time with the course that I´m following. So I spent some time assembling the airbrakes from photoetched. I love this kind of bits, but four pairs of them are are somewhat stressful Also the access ladder was built. It´s a little gem of photoetched from MaestroModels, but it´s not suitable for the begginer. Some experience with PE is mandatory This is the current state of th
  22. Hi again. First of all many thanks to Dragan, Aigore, McCoy, Ruud and Polo for your kind words. Now for a new round of pics of my progress. I painted, washed and flat coated the interior of the wheel wells doors. Here you can see a pic of the most interesting of them, as the other doors are just plain, lacking any detail. I still have to paint some details on them. I also washed with black paint the flame holders, then flat coated them and applied dark pastel chalk to achieve this burned effect. The same was done to the afterburner duct, ie, applied a flat coat then some pastel chal
  23. Hi again. I have some more pics of the work that I have done on the wheel wells. I added more plumbing to the all open well that was shown yesterday and this is the final result Of course that lot of detailing could be added still, but I think that this is enought for this scale... The remaining three wells received the same detailing, but only the part that will be visible... I also modified the inner doors of the well that I will show on open position. And that is all for now. The next step will be to paint all the wells as well as the RAT vane to start assembling fu
  24. Hello again. Many thanks everybody for your encouragement. Finally I can show some more progress that I’ve achieved on my building. Those are the exhaust rings painted as I mentioned on my previous post, ie, the exterior ring on steel and the inner petals on burnt metal. . Here is the exhaust dryfitted on its future placement fot test. I set aside the exhaust for some days and concentrate on detailing the main wheel wells.In this pictures you can see the original aspect of one of them (with a part of Eduard’s PE set on place). In order to hide the gap between the two par
  25. Hi Aigore. It's great to have another Viggen been built in the forum at the same time. It will prompt me on my building. Your cockpit looks outsatnding even without detail painting, and your and your solution for the exhaust is really surprising. Go ahead with it. Greetings. Juan
