Description
After having decided to continue making a few profiles I decided it was time to step my game up a bit. Hence the Viggen JA 37 above. When I started this I thought it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. Now it's done, I'm not so sure.
However I now learn it has the same engine
which powers most of the world's airliners (normal Pratt & Whitney workhorse). So all these Swedish pilots can now go off on their holidays in one of these with some certainty of getting there!

Fine work!
Never thought of it as ugly, but not the most attractive model on the catwalk.You've done another excellent profile here. Just curiocity, ALL profiles seem to be 'port' side..any reason for this????
Thanks Neiwil, The reason for profiles mostly facing right to left is simply because people read from left to right. Now for China we would probably stand them on end!
Very well done.
I never thought of thses as ugly either parked beside highways on alert and in public playgrounds. The engine has a short stack afterburner, something that never really caught on with the A-7D TF-30.
Nice cammo job.
Oh you can't call a Viggen ugly Ratty..they are just big boned! Nice profile.
I like the profiles, but wish you would alternate the profile with an action picture of the same plane before the next profile.
Great looking profile. I heard that SAAB is having some very good fortune with the Gripen.
Not sure i'd call it ugly either, it's a bit like SAAB's cars, not beautiful but well engineered and highly capable of doing what it's designed for. A great profile though.
Nice job. ------------------------------- Certainly not it's best angle. But from the front it's menacing. And the camo on that thing is a bitch. I used to have a scale model of that, and I deffinitely went for the option B, of rub n' buff silver... P
