Masks for Viggen camouflage


Recommended Posts

These have been around the longest, on vinyl:

These guys are a bit more recent, I think that it's on yellow masking "tape" sheets:

Thank you for the reply.

 

Maybe I wasn’t clear on my post.  I would like to know if any modeler had a good experience with any of the available mask sets for the Saab Viggen.

 

Thanks again.

There was a gentleman on one of the forums, not sure if it was here or Britmodeler, that said that all the masks available had some small but, to the trained eye, visible errors. He masked his entire Viggen by hand. I think there was one area in particular that he stated they all got wrong. I'll try to find his posts.

I used the DN Models masks, and overall I had a good experience with them.  They are the tamiya tape style masks, so that helps with the complex curves.  I cannot speak to the accuracy of them, but they looked right to me.  As with a scheme this complicated, there was quite a bit of touch up after mask removal, and since it is so complicated I messed up a few places on my own.  But overall I would recommend them.

 

Here is how mine turned out:
