Ken Beckler
Peoria, Illinois
There’s no aftermarket in sight on Ken’s 1/48 scale AJ 37 Viggen. Instead, he scratchbuilt the wheel wells, landing gear with brake lines and disc brakes, ejection-seat padding, oxygen hose, and wine-bottle tin foil seat belts for the ESCI kit. The Swedish splinter camo required three rolls of Tamiya tape and multiple layers of Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics.
