Italeri 2785 - 1/48 Saab JA 37/AJ 37 Viggen: Modellers brief

The Viggen is a distinctive Cold War era jet with a compact, high-performance layout. The Italeri 2785 1/48 kit brings both the JA 37 and AJ 37 types to the workbench for a detailed scale representation.

Design history and modelling interest

Developed to meet varied defence needs, the Viggen carried out air defence, anti-ship and ground attack missions. Modelmakers value the subject for its unusual geometry and the chance to reproduce period-accurate markings.

Kit composition and build expectations

Built from the original ESCI moulds, the Italeri 2785 offers clear panel lines and cockpit detail. Included in the box are a colour instruction sheet and decals for four marking options. Builders should be prepared for fine assembly work and careful finishing to achieve the best result.

Specifications

  • 1/48 scale
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes colour instruction sheet
  • Decals for 4 versions

What skill level suits this Italeri 2785 kit?

This kit is aimed at intermediate to advanced modellers. It contains small parts and requires patience with paint and decals to reach a high standard.

Are there fit issues to watch for?

Some joints benefit from dry fitting and test gluing. Filing mating surfaces and using clamps for alignment will improve final joins.

How should I protect decals after applying?

After decals are set and fully dry, seal them with a clear varnish or flat coat to protect edges and blend them into the paintwork.
