_alfisti_ Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Looks good, the plane as well as the armament. I'm not fan of what-if but this scheme suits your Gripen fantastic.👍 You´re aware that you mixed practice ammo and live ammo? Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel thanks Daniel I know I've selected a load-out that wouldn't be used however what I'd decided was to show a "different" range of ordinance and as these were supplied with the kit I thought they would add a bit of novelty? rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Those both sound like interesting choices, John. Flip a coin to decide which to build first? James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortCummins Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 So after a week of so in “sunny” Cornwall, persisted down every day, time to get this closer to the finish line. Front landing gear added… …landing light… Rear landing gear… …rear gear doors. And standing on her Owen feet… Next I’ll be adding the load-out and final bits’n’pieces. until next time as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Both aircraft and armaments look very good John. It seems that you are very close to RFI. Serkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortCummins Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Before adding the load-out there were a few antenna that needed to be added… …the rear lower antenna needed to be “dirtied”… …some PE antenna… Anti-collision and navigation lights… I’d bought the Master brass pitot, these were painted and added… Finally the load-out… Next I’ll be taking some RFI photo’s and calling her done. until next time as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortCummins Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 One of my favourite parts of modelling is removing the cockpit masks… The weather is against taken any RFI photos outdoors so I’ve taken them indoors, the lighting is not optimum. You can see the full set of photos here… until next time as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received. rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81-er Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The finished result is absolutely fantastic, John, well done! As you nmentioned, the load out is unconventional, but it works. I know what you mean about the canopy masks too, they really signify the end. I'll look forward to seeing what hits the bench next James p.s. Are you heading to Telford this weekend? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
