“This Viggen is special with comic strip character “Hägar the Horrible” on the tail, painted for the Viggen’s retirement from the Swedish air force,” Richard says. He modified a Special Hobby 1/48 scale Saab JA 37 kit with a CMK resin seat, wheels, and canards, a Maestro ram-air turbine, and detailed the cockpit and gear bays with Squadron products. Richard mixed Tamiya paints to match Swedish standard colors and painted the Viggen’s typical splinter camo, masking for each color.
