MVW 72 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello, got my kit today. Judging from the sprue layout and the fuselage joints, a twoseater seems at least an option. Lets hope the testbuilder know / have more than we... Regards, Martin Link to post Share on other sites
modelldoc 447 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes, a two seater is option for this kit. But, he comes not in 2015 perhaps later, we will see. modelldoc Link to post Share on other sites

alex 1,190 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) It hurts to look at the canopy... decal sheets get smaller with each new model they release. Not impressed at all! Edit: Oh, not just one version, but less stencils as well (only one colour stripe but no stencils for the AAM, no "lift here" for the tank, no decals for the pylons etc) Alex Edited June 6, 2016 by alex Link to post Share on other sites
PhantomBigStu 9,483 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 that decal sheet sucks, compared to the F-18F from a few years ago that I build over xmas, 2 options and festooned with stencils, for basically the same price is poor, though maybe the grippen isn't that well stenciled in reality? Though the choice of one decal option is inexcusable, given the limited markings to not have a 2nd or 3rd set of tail numbers.... this and an underwhelming 2016 schedule on many fronts and nonexistent distribution to smaller vendors hopefully is a temporary hiccup Link to post Share on other sites
JBr 83 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I have stencils for Swedish pylons in my Decennial Gripen decal set and they will also be part of the upcoming Czech Gripens: Fighters and Czech Gripens: Trainers decal sets. NATO pylons (those with bulges on the sides) have a bit different stencils, but unfortunately as they are not used by our Gripens, I don't have any source material for making them.

However, the decal sheet is not that bad. The typeface is correct (at last!), Swedish roundels look good, although in reality, the ones on the underside are in a slightly different colour, they are more light grey. Regarding the stencils, unlike many other modern aircraft, Gripen has very few stencils and as far as I can see, all of them are available on this sheet.

Pollie 28 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 German in-box review: http://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=11315 V.P. That canopy looks really bad. Was it a fluke or standard for this kit? Link to post Share on other sites
MiG-Mech 148 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The canopy is sometimes bad at Revell oG.I have same at an 1/72 F-16. Link to post Share on other sites
thepureness 2,543 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 its odd, as the first photo of the clear sprue the canopy looks ok, but when you see the close up it looks horrid. Could this just be a faulty part? Link to post Share on other sites
