Saab Gripen (Revell, 1/72)


Recommended Posts

It's always a welcome boost to my national pride to see a SAAB product modelled in these pages, and especially when looking so carefully built and finished!

Incidentally, one of the more impressive JAS 39 stunts at airshows is the low speed/high alpha pass, with the front wings fluttering. Just sayin'… ;-)

Great modelling job!

Kind regards,

Joachim

One of the most beautiful jets I think, the Swedish are always a but different ( but in a positive way).

Are there other jets that have canopies hinged on the port side? Beautiful plane indeed and a beautiful model of it! V-P

The Gripen's forebear, the A 32 (attack), S 32 (recce) and J 32 (fighter) Lansen had a port hinged canopy, too. First flight 1956…

Kind regards,

Joachim

Hello,Vajled - My compliments to you on a fine looking build of your 'Gripen'.I love the quality of the paint and finishing work and she is a resplendent tribute to the type. All The best,Paul.
