MickeEinSweden Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Oh god I want a J29 Tunnan (alongside J35 Draken and F-4 Phantom) from Leatherneck. Wonder what the next plane after Corsair will be. Luckily I am only 56, so I have many years left to embrace their comming pieces of art. I'll buy them all. But this is not the wish-thread, I know, sorry. Could not help myself in the joy of AJS37.. What I had in mind was that it would be really cool with Viggen in different (fictional) UN-liveries!!

Lt.Snake Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I think we need a fictional StarWars Rebel Alliance skin. Because if the X-Wing fighter were a Jet, the Viggen is what it would look like. I sure am gonna feel like Luke in the ditch of the Deathstar when I am skimming the waves headed for the soviet fleet ;-) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] \\\S.D. Plissken...

Robert31178 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The two seat version of the Viggen reminds me of the ARC-170 from the Clone Wars: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/ba/ARC170starfighter.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111112062600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Cougar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I have an interesting one for all of you talented skin makers out there! :D The artist also painted an airfix model too :thumbup: http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=294&t=38737 Most are RAF but there are some more fictional ones in here for the RCAF, and USAF: http://s233.photobucket.com/user/Scorchi0/media/Profiles/Viggen/USAF_SEA2.jpg.html I mean hey, the A10C has a lot of fictional paint schemes default even! Why not this ol' bird? :music_whistling: Edited December 15, 2016 by Ice_Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OziRekt Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 An Australian one?

Ice_Cougar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 An Australian one? The RAAF had the Viggen as one of the options for our Mirage III replacement That would've been badass! But the RAAF decided to get the "pig" as it's main strike plane...which I'm fine with as the Aardvark is amongst my favorite planes of all time. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Cougar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I can't even describe how much I like the look of the CF-12A Thunderbolt. Haha. So cool ������ please please please someone make that one!!! Haha glad others agree with me on these fictional skins. I'm sure someone will make a CF-12A Thunderbolt and post it if the Viggen gets a skin competition! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Cougar Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) I found some more fictional liveries by the same artist! If anyone could help me identify him/her, that would be great as I love fictional aircraft liveries, and I've actually found these pictures from said artist all over the aviation community. For instance, I found these Spanish Air Force JA-37 on Pintrest: As per OziRekt's request: Also found a RNoAF Fictional Scheme: Austrian Air Force/Österreichische Luftstreitkräfte Scheme Theres an amazing album of these pictures here: http://s233.photobucket.com/user/Scorchi0/media/Profiles/Viggen/JASDF_1.jpg.html (Just be sure to scroll through them!) :thumbup: Edited December 20, 2016 by Ice_Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Here is a Fictional Danish Skin for the AJ 37. And Denmark was one of the nations the Saab 37E Eurofighter project was marketed towards (Export variant of the Viggen that competed with the F-16 for the replacement of the F-104 for Belgium,Denmark,The Netherlands and Norway) So its one of the more Plausible fictional skins.

A Luftwaffe or RNAF scheme one would also be interesting as they were looking for a replacement for their mostly anti-ship/air-superiority Starfighters non? Also here is another Fictional Danish scheme (replacements for their upgraded Drakens perhaps?): My god there are so many possibilities. :D Edited December 20, 2016 by Ice_Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid_DK Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just count on the danish being renamed to F-37 and RF-37 (If we got the recce version) did that on the J35. (So yes we already had one F-35 in service here, that actually worked very very well, and an RF 35.)

KewlerMouh Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 As the granted would-be importer Nation for the mighty Viggen and longest user of the mighty old Draken I humbly request an Austrian "fictional" Skin First!

Eldur Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Here is one livery I'd like to see. More infos about this livery can be found here: http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2001/10/stuff_eng_detail_ja37_blue_peter.htm That one almost looks like a Wonderbolt paintjob, colors are pretty close, it just needs more lightning shapes to it :D Cooincidence of Awesome /)^3^(\ I really need a Wonderbolt skin for the Viggen.

Panzerfan Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 After reading a bit into the Viggen, I thought to my self "This bird would be perfect for the Swiss Air Force" And I couldn't find a source where we even considered it. But it's easy to maintain and made for short landings and take off So a swiss skin would be cool, preferably painted like the old Hawker Hunters since they filled a similar role as ground attack aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattebubben Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) It was never exported because of strange internal swedish politics. :P Well there were several Export attempts =P i thought it was external Politics rather then internal ones that gave it troubles =P. (Like the Deal with India that US blocked by not giving export permissions on some of the US designed systems / components used by the Viggen). Politics often play a Massive part when it comes to aircraft deals so its usually easier for powerful nations like USA,France and Russia to export aircraft (Especially to nations within their Sphere of influence) and Sweden does not have the same political power. In some cases it could be a + being a Neutral nation (Deals with Austria for the J29,J35 and Saab 105 etc) but in general it made nation less likely to buy the Swedish Option since it could not provide the Political advantage / security as buying from the US or Russia.
