Announced some time ago, it finally appears as if Aviation 72 is preparing to roll out their eagerly anticipated Saab Viggen Jet Fighter (#AV724001). Slated for an October ship, the Viggen is one of those next generation aircraft everyone asks about but cannot readily claim to have in their diecast collection. Priced at just $54.99 and scaled in 1:72, this particular Viggen was flown at the Royal International Air Tattoo Air Show in 1995.

Aviation 72 Gets "Tatted Up"
Announced some time ago, it finally appears as if Aviation 72 is preparing to roll out their eagerly anticipated Saab Viggen Jet Fighter (#AV724001). Slated for an October ship, the Viggen is one of those next generation aircraft everyone asks about but cannot readily claim to have in their diecast collection.

Dragon Takes the Scenic Route
Several years ago, Dragon launched a line of ancillary pieces called “DiorArmor”, an obvious play on words that combined one of their Dragon Armor pieces with a dioramic base. They seem to have revisited the theme somewhat, by offering a new range of vehicles called PanorArmor. Another play on words (“panorama”), this all-new sub set of vehicles combines several of their more recent releases with scenic, theatre appropriate backgrounds, making them more attractive to look at under glass.
Four vehicles make up the initial series, all of whom are expected some time in October.
