What a great idea! I've always wanted to do a Viggen, but the prospect of making masks for that complex camouflage always put me off.

These do look like a time-saver, but actually, doing splinter camo isn't that big a challenge: Scale the painting diagram to the exact same size as the model and print it, tape that to a sheet of masking material (I use Tamiya), and use a sharp knife to cut along the lines. Done! I used that for a Swedish CV-9040B several years ago, and that has a lot more odd shapes and bumps than a Viggen.
