--------------------

 

This is the Revell 1/32 scale JAS Grippen, now the kit is out of production and I am lucky to get 5 of this kit from e-bay seller in Germany, I built the kit straight from the box but I have to modified the detail of the cockpit and re-do the recess line and re-drilled to make a holes along the fuselage to imitated screws. I changed the antenna with a needle so it will not broken. Revell did a good job with this plane, I don't have any difficulty to made the models because the fuselage and wings can be joined so perfect without gap, and I use only a little bit putty. This jet is as big as 1/32 scale F-16 Falcon.

I painted the jet with 2 color schemes light grey and dark aggressor grey from model masters and use weathering method with water color to make the fuselage a little bit dirty because of oils spills.

JAS-29 Grippen can carry AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-120 Amraam, AGM-65 Maverick, Bombs, Rocket pods and Anti ship missiles.

Anyway, This is a good model kit and I am happy to have one of this rare model kit.
