* Initially the J35J were planed too use the same colors as the JA37. But after some testing the 033M was considered too light to be used as topside color on J35J so they mixed in some black paint to tone the color down a bit. (5 to 10 percent) This was done locally.

** 507M Is no longer in use and is removed from inventory it has no match in the NCS System but the 507M is in between NCS S7010-Y50R och NCS S6010-Y50R. The 507M discolord badly over time and offseted the Camouflage effect. Nowadays the Air force uses mostly modern grey colors but the army still uses the three ramaining colors in the four color splinter scheme.

Heller AJ-37 Viggen

After a raid to my basement a found an old Heller kit of a Viggen. The kit is, despite it's age, quit good and the raised panel lines are not overly done but the cockpit is a little bare thou so I bought an after market Ejection seat and photo-etch set from Maestro Models. The camouflage is a challenge so I also bought a set of paint masks from Gator.

The etched details are pre painted and will enhance the cockpit considerably.

Last time I built this kit I had some problems with the joint between wing and fuselage. The joint is very weak and any sanding will destroy the panel lines so I took care when I attached the upper half of the wings to the fuselage. I filled the joint from the inside and reinforced with super glue.

I experimented with some mixes of Vallejo paint for the camouflage and came up with the following mixes:

Light Green = 3 parts 967 + 1 part 894
Dark Green = 2 parts 967 + 1 part 894
Brown = ?
Black = 862

(I will re-evaluate this mixes when I decide to continue the build)

This build is currently on hold but I intend to continue it in the future.
