This new resin item by Maestro
Models Conversions and available from Rebell
Hobby is a pair of
Raketkapsel (Rocket Pod) m/70 that were used until around the year 2000.
These were used either singularly or in pairs on various versions of the SAAB 37
Viggen fighters.

The exhaust design at the rear of these pods is very
complicated to attempt to replicate in scale forum......but Maestro
Models Conversions put plenty of thought into the design of this set to minimize
the effort needed by the modeller to assemble these while still capturing the
very complicated detail. You also get little tiny rockets you can paint
and then insert into each of the rocket tubes. Casting these separately
gives the modeller a much easier time during the painting process while getting
more accurate results. The pods do come with pylons attached to them.
The instructions are clear and
include 4 photos to help you with the assembly of these pods. Painting
instructions aren't included, but information about where to mount these on your
Viggen are included in the instructions.
These are great looking rocket
pods and will definitely be a very attractive item to add to your next Viggen
model.
I would like to
thank Rebell
Hobby for
providing me with this review sample. This item is available directly from http://www.rebell.com.

Viggen and Draken from Maestro Models Conversions.
