Product Description

- I'm happy with the masking sheet that reliably finishes Bigen's characteristic forest camouflage!

[About the actual machine]
- Bigen is a jet fighter independently developed, deployed and operated by Sweden in Northern Europe.
- Started development in 1961 as a successor to the Draken.
- After successful first flight in 1967, deployment and operation began in 1971.
-The fuselage shape is equipped with canards on the left and right sides of the cockpit, and the main wing adopts a delta wing. The engine is equipped with one Prato & Whitney JT8D-22.
- While demonstrating a maximum speed of Mach 2.1, it boasted STOL performance that allowed takeoff and landing on short runways.
- In addition to being equipped with a 30mm Oerlikon KCA cannon as a fixed armament, it was possible to operate the RB71 Skyflash short-range air-to-air missile and the AIM-120AMRAAM medium-range air-to-air M.
-The basic type, AJ37, as well as a training aircraft type and a reconnaissance aircraft type are also lined up, recording more than 300 total production aircraft.
- JA37, which became the final production type, secured all-weather performance and was active as an interception battle.
- The Viggen was retired in 2005, waiting for its successor, the Saab Gripen.

[About the model]
- The model is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Swedish fighter Viggen.
-This model reproduces the final production JA37 Jaktovigen, which was active as an interceptor fighter.
-In addition, this kit includes a convenient masking sheet to reproduce the green camouflage paint called forest camouflage.
- Of course, the model has a total length of 34.2 cm and fully expresses the unique style equipped with canards and the characteristics of the JA37 vertical tail.
- Not only the shape of the aircraft, but also the delicate expression of the legs, the details in the leg storage space, and the reproduction of the cockpit, etc., are easy to assemble.
- Of course, assembly is safe with Japanese instructions.
-There are two types of markings: the green camouflage aircraft marking used by each Bigen aircraft and the marking of the aircraft with gray air superiority camouflage applied only by JA37 Jaktovigen.
- In addition, a masking sheet for painting the canopy frame of the Platts / Italeri series is also included.
