Dream Model does a PE set for the Trumpeter Su-27UB which includes quite a bit for the cockpit. There are also a number of resin K-36 ejection seats available, and you can get some control columns from Quickboost (while intended for the Hasegawa Su-33) can also add some detail to the cockpit. Cheers, Hoops

The best P-3 stencils out there are in the Revell rebox of the Hasegawa kit. It is a giant sheet, and nothing else even comes close. I don't like what they did for the walkways over the wing, printing them in white, but other than that, the stencils are awesome. The walkways should be the same color as the surrounding surfaces (Gull Grey), or darker. They have a rough surface that tends to collect dirt, and make them look darker, but definitely not lighter. For other marking options, Wolfpak has some good ones. They are also printed by Fantasy Printshop, just take a look at their catalogue.

From the Revell release schedule for 2014, the Gripen C kit should be released Oct 2014: http://www.plastik-modellbau.org/blog/revell-neuheiten-2014/2014/#more-31262 Hoops

End of 2014 for the Gripen in 1/72 then? I can live with that. There are plenty of other kits in the stash waiting to be built. Hoops

What? I was holding out for that kit, so that I wouldn't have to try and fix the Italeri plastic. Say it isn't so!

The Sidewinders in the Academy F-8 are the right version for you, and are also very nice. There is sure to be somebody that has a couple in the spares box. Hoops

Also note that it is "Wolfpak Decals" without the "C" Hoops

I order a couple of the tail linked above off of Ebay, and have used one on an Israeli A-4F model that is currently awaying decals. They items that I recieved were well cast, but I must admit that I was not completely happy with them, and may wind up making the tailpipe from scratch for my planned A-4N. The issues I had include: - The diameter of the pipe is too small, probably by about .5mm, making the step at the "adapter ring," for lack of a better term, where it meets the fuselage much too large. - The shape of the aerodynamic fairing on the top of the pipe did not match up very well with its counterpart on the Fujimi fuselage, also resulting in a rather large step. This I was able to fix, but it was quite a pain, and I lost some surrounding detail. It is easier than going from scratch, but I wasn't as impressed once I glued it on. Hoops
