This new resin item by Maestro
Models Conversions and available from Rebell
Hobby is a pair of Raketkapsel (Rocket Pod) m/70 that were used until around the year 2000.
These were used either singularly or in pairs on various versions of the SAAB 37
Viggen fighters.

The rear exhaust area of these pods is cast
separately and is hollow for added accuracy and realism. You get little tiny rockets you can paint
and then insert into each of the rocket tubes. Casting these separately
gives the modeller a much easier time during the painting process while getting
more accurate results. The pods do come with pylons attached to them and
these pods also have recessed panel lines.
The instructions are clear and
include 3 photos to help you with the assembly of these pods. Painting
instructions aren't included, but information about where to mount these on your
Viggen are included in the instructions.
These are great looking rocket
pods and will definitely be a very attractive item to add to your next Viggen
model.
I would like to
thank Rebell
Hobby for
