This is certainly an amazing project! I myself harbour dreams (delusions?) of one day scratch building a J-29 Tunnan in 1/32 scale, so this entire thread will be gold for me!

Thanks guys for all kind of words….I’ve never expect to have a kind of a great support from all of you. I’m grieved. :taunt:

I’ll appreciate it. I’d to dispute with nose part this week; it’s a big headache though. That was because of dissimilarity between Esci kit and picture that I’ve used as a reference.

I’d realize that Esci kit has an out of shape at the nose. Have been failed several times and finally I get it done.

Here some a progress photo….

Attach nose to the fuselage

1st stage sanding…

Add this part….I don’t know what I should call that…

Here the pictures for the 2nd and 3rd sanding process

P/s-Always apply surfacer/primer every sanding stage done. I think it is regular operations right?

And at last sufacer had dried, I used a wet sanding technique to smoothen the surface.

That’s all about it….I’ll up load the final product of this process on the next post….

Stay tune…. :rofl:

I notice that your first post was made on April 2nd. Now it's only April 4th. Did you build the whole fuselage completely from scratch in JUST 2 DAYS??

Thx,

Terry

Thanks Terry.

Wow Naza!

Another ambitious project...

You ARE fast!

Looks like you are off to a great start on another great model.

I'll be watching with interest!!!

Chris :thumbsup:

Chris,

Your skills are beyond of mind…I’m just nobody. I wish can achieve 10% of what you have though :) I choose this subject because I love Viggen very much.

Yes, I’m might be able to get the basic shape fast but when it’s come on detailing….than I’ll have a big headache.

thetoe17-Yes , I wish too, but I’ve to achieve a quality/standard qualified for productions ….That is a long way to go….let me has enough practice before I can talk to Chris. :D

And thanks guys for a such a great comments....I'll appreciate it....

See you on the next post... :wave:

Regards

Here an update time…

Before that I would like to say A big thanks to “troll†because of a reference that’s he sent it to me. Especially an out line drawing it’s so helpful. In fact 90% of references are come from ARC walkround photo.

Therefore, I’d to redo at some area that’s I’ve miss look. Thanks again bro.

Here a pictures

Sanding and adding process, narrow down the air intake, corrections on the belly…and little bit here and there…

Before

After

Next post I’ll show the air intake process…..stay tune…

Cheers

:thumbsup:
