Italeri 2785 - 1/48 Saab JA 37/AJ 37 Viggen: Kit overview for builders

The Saab Viggen is notable for its compact delta-canard layout and operational versatility. This Italeri 2785 1/48 release recreates key features of both the JA 37 interceptor and the AJ 37 multirole aircraft for a convincing scale model.

Operational history and modelling appeal

Originating during the Cold War, the Viggen filled roles from fleet air defence to anti-shipping strikes. Scale modellers favour the type for its unconventional shape and the challenges it offers when replicating flight control surfaces and markings.

Parts, decals and expected build level

The kit is produced from the original ESCI tooling, delivering classic detailing and mould fidelity. Included are a colour instruction sheet and a comprehensive decal sheet with four scheme choices. The build will reward careful assembly and patient paintwork, so it is best tackled by those with some modelling experience.

Specifications

  • Scale 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Colour instruction sheet
  • Decals covering 4 schemes

Do the parts require much clean up?

Like many kits from older moulds, expect some flash and seam lines. Careful trimming and a light sanding will improve fit and finish.

Will the decals fit complex surfaces?

Decals are sized for the kit contours but using setting solution helps them conform over panel lines and compound curves for a crisp finish.

Any advice for painting the Viggen's camo?

Study reference photos and block in base colours before applying soft-edged camo. Multiple light coats and patience yield the most realistic results.

Is aftermarket detailing recommended?

Aftermarket items like resin cockpit bits or photo-etch can raise realism, but the box kit is well suited to a quality display build on its own.
