It may be worth keeping i mind that Revell has sold three different toolings of JAS 39. There's the 1989 tooling (kit 4374) which is to have serious accuracy issues, there's their JAS 39A which is the Italieri kit reboxed, and there's the JAS 39C and D kits which are their new toolings.

I was wondering if there would an Italeri re-box somewhere in the Revell line up. Great info. Thanks!

For a SAAF (or Czech, Hungarian, Thai or Swedish) Gripen You need the latest Revell JAS 39C kit. The old JAS 39A from Italeri (Revell, Bilek, Tamiya and Airfix) can only be built as a Swedish JAS 39A, no matter what the box says. I have updated my article about the 39A and B kits: https://www.ipmsstockholm.se/home/jas-39a-och-39b-gripen-byggsatser-i-172/

hi

 

I suggest the Revell  kit, please see my modelling report for a 1/72 Thai Gripen here at:

In fact, many modern "World Aircraft" can be checked out at my page here:

Have fun!
