Italeri 2785 - 1/48 Saab JA 37/AJ 37 Viggen: Scale modeller overview

The Saab Viggen is recognised for its bold engineering and diverse mission roles. This Italeri 2785 1/48 kit renders both the AJ 37 strike variant and the JA 37 interceptor in scale, offering model builders a faithful platform to recreate the Viggen's distinctive silhouette.

Cold War origins and modelling interest

Conceived in the Cold War era, the Viggen served in air defence, maritime strike and ground attack roles. The kit captures that legacy and gives hobbyists a chance to study the aircrafts design and unique systems while assembling a convincing replica.

What to expect during assembly

The Italeri 2785 set is produced from the original ESCI moulds, providing crisp panel lines and cockpit detail. It ships with a colour instruction sheet and a decal sheet covering four marking options. Builders should expect a moderately complex assembly and will benefit from prior experience in painting and decal work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes color instruction sheet
  • Decals for 4 versions

How difficult is the Italeri 2785 kit to build?

This kit is aimed at experienced modellers. It has fine parts and requires careful painting and decal work, so beginners may find it challenging without prior practice.

What adhesives and paints work best?

Use standard plastic model cement or CA for small joins. Acrylic or enamel model paints both work well; prime surfaces first for best paint adhesion.

Are the decals easy to apply?

Decals are typical of older-style sheets. Use decal setting solution and allow ample time for positioning and drying to avoid silvering.

Should I add aftermarket parts?

The kit is complete for a faithful display model, but micro-detail sets such as resin seats or photo-etch can enhance cockpit realism if desired.
