Matchbox – PK-119 – SAAB Viggen

Description:

SAAB Viggen

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a Swedish Saab 37 Viggen attack and fighter aircraft of the 70s. Thought the box doesn’t explicitly mention it, it’s an AJ 37 variant, the single-seat ground-attack fighter aircraft variant.

Tooled in 1978 is considered one of the good Matchbox aircrafts, with not so exaggerated panel lines and a good work on the landing gear. The set was released again in 1979, always with a decal sheet with two Swedish markings. Later in 1986 the set was reworked to a two-seat trainer variant as kit Matchbox – PK-131 – SaaB VIGGEN SK.37.

This set is pretty hard to find.
