Designed for Special Hobby and Tarangus kits, it allows you to build one of three historic versions of the Swedish Saab 37 Viggen – AJ (attack), JA (fighter), or SF (reconnaissance). The set enables you to create a model of the aircraft that served as the backbone of the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) from the 1970s well into the early 21st century, spanning the Cold War and modern era.

Unique Design of the Swedish Fighter

The Saab 37 Viggen was technologically groundbreaking: it was the world’s first combat aircraft equipped with a digital fly-by-wire system and delta-canard configuration. It was optimized for operations from short, improvised airstrips (including public roads), stemming from Sweden’s neutrality and its unique defense concepts. The AJ37 (attack/support), JA37 (interceptor), and SF37 (reconnaissance) variants took part in numerous patrol missions and defensive exercises as part of the Scandinavian deterrence strategy during the tense Cold War period.
