Ian M; Madness will surely follow.

[Ian M]

I was sifting through the internet, trying to find some candidates for the coming group build. I have found a couple of good ones. However which ever one I chose, madness will follow.

Here is the first candidate

http://www.airplane-pictures.net/images/uploaded-images/2008-12/14/31209.jpg

The second candidate can been seen in the third post in this thread. I have removed the links here as they did not work!!!

The main problem with this one will be making the decals as I don't believe they have been done by anyone.

Anyone care to comment. I can't choose, but will probably end up doing them both anyway. Always fancied a Gripen and the Jag is just begging to be done.

The bottom two links arent working ian but i got to see the jag, and yes the decals have been made by model alliance in 1/48 and 1/72.. I say go for the jaguar! cheers tony

[Ian M]

Odd, they work fine on my PC.

I know about the decals for the Jag, they are on their way to me, or as good as.

The second one was this bird. A Saab Vigen with the Czech air force. I have not found any decals for this one. Yet!

I cant open the bottom two links either.all i get is a message saying 'Too many reloads or requests.That Jaguars paint job is a bit special.Looking forward to seeing it on your model.

I am collecting all the photos I can get hold of and once I get Photoshop loaded onto the wife PC I will have a go at making them myself. Seems rude not to (ab)use the new colour laser printer at work for some thing sensible!!!

Couldn't quite figure the scale of that model. My guess is that is a broken scale...

[Ian M]

Right then thats quite enough of that!

The jury is still out on my final choice. I sort of accidently ordered a Gripen from John so I will have a think as to which way to go...first.

Sorry, back on track. I would go for the Viggen. My vote.

[tr1ckey66]

Hi Ian

They're both good schemes but the Viggen gets my vote because of the eyes on the canards - you can't help but look!

Sourcing decals could be a challenge though.

Cheers

Well the decals are on the way, the cockpit is ordered, so hopefully I will have that in a week or so..... :-/

I might even have found out the paint colour so I think we have a winner. Or I will end up doing both, but for now the winner is ................................

..................... The spotty Jag!

There are no decals for that particular GRIPEN (its a C39 not a C37 pay attention at the back!!!!) There are some for a couple of the others, but not that one so its a photoshop and stick tape job.

So All I can do now is sit and wait for bits to arrive. :-(
