The Gripen I`ve built is finished as s/n 39210 "500 Fh", tail number 210 in the typical swedish airforce colours. I used JPS Colors CN003 N.10 for lower surface and CN010 N.9 for upper surfaces. All inner areas like the undercarriage or the airbrakes are painted with Aero Master 1085 Overall Grey. No. 210 is a so called PRI airframe for the C/D series, it is intended to be flown more frequently than average airframes in order to gain expierience from long term effects on airframe, systems and components prior to the rest of the fleet reaching the same number of flight hours. 39210 was flown well above 20 hours per month, this is (of course) unusually high. During this time the aircraft had also undergone frequent service and repairs, and two 200 Fh overhaul. Nine month after it had entered with F17 wing 1000 flight hours was exceeded on June 20, 2005.
