Looks like a better kit than the 1/48 variants. At least some of the stuff missing on the 1/48 kits is there, like twin vortex generators on the canards for the fighter, the strake from the centerline pylon to the small ventral fin.

So looking forward to these.  :cheers:  :worship: Gonna need a dozen!

 

The one thing I don't like is that it seems there are no weapons in the kit itself. Sidewinders I've got plenty of,  but it would have been nice to see some of the specifically Swedish stuff, like the Rb 04 and 05 or the humongous Bofors 135mm rocket pods. Sure, they're all avilable in resin, but I fear the Viggen itself is gonna be expensive enough. Not really complaining though, just would have been nice. 

 

New Viggen, baby! :yahoo:And not just one version, but all of them! :banana:

The sprue shots show three cockpits and three seats ???


Cockpit tubs for AJ, JA and Sk versions. But you wouldn´t ever need more than two seats, so why there are three I do not know.

I believe the guy behind Maestro Models is one of the backers of Tarangus, so that´s why you might never see in plastic anything that cannot be sold separately as a resin item.
