This new resin conversion set by Maestro
Models Conversions from Rebell
Hobby includes all you
need to convert the single seat 1/48 Airfix/Esci JA37 Viggen kit to the
Sk-37 or Sk-37E Viggen 2 seat version. This is a major conversion that
will require cutting the kit fuselage and inserting the rear cockpit/fuselage
section.

This set deals
with this conversion quite well. For instance you get a pre-painted photo
etch set made by Eduard that provides lovely detail for the front kit cockpit
and the rear resin cockpit included in this conversion set. This will make
sure your front and rear cockpit have the consistent detail level and
quality. The fuselage section has recessed panel lines. You also get
2 resin ejection seats with the resin seatbelts molded in. There is a very
decent level of detail on these seats and once painted, they should look very
good. You also get 2 control sticks, an antenna if you are building the
Sk37E plus vacuformed canopies with canopy painting masks. The canopies
are clear and flawless.....you get 2 sets of canopies to permit you to make
mistakes and still get the job done. A rear seat instrument panel coaming is
also included along with pre-painted instrument panels for the front and rear
cockpit.
The instructions are clear and
include photos and text to help you with this conversion. You also get 2
pages of coloured line drawing instructions for the Eduard photo etch part of
this set.
Finally modellers wanting to
build a 2 seat version of the Viggen have a very good option with this
multi-media conversion set from Maestro Models Conversions.
