FlyingSnowmew Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 These two walkarounds are downloads only, but they have a lot of valueable photos. http://aircraftwalkaround.hobbyvista.com/j...ipen_mockup.rar http://aircraftwalkaround.hobbyvista.com/jas_prototype.rar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richy Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 I saw this kit few years ago at a hooby shop in paris, but at this time i was not interested by that plane. Since, it as been bought by hungary, south african af and chezk af. I tried to find the kit but i was told that revell did a very small units mostly for people of the saab company. After some search i found a guy in Nice (france) that sold me one for 58euro. It's a good kit, same period as the revell fulcrum. If you use a ge 404 from academy hornet and a scratch cokpit and homemade decals it can do a very good and unusual model. Thanks for your answers :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Johan C Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hello, I have some comments on the 1:32 Gripen kit. When it was released about 15 years ago it was commonly available in hobby shops here in Sweden, so it was not only for people working att Saab. There are other models of the Gripen though that I have seen only at the Saab shop at the factory in Linköping, a prepanted model in 1:48 (probably in resin), one in 1:72 (no longer available) and one prepainted plastic model in 1:144 made by Revell (standing in front of me right now on the top of my computor screen :) ). I built the Revell 1:32 kit for the Swedish Air Force Museum some ten years ago. The kit is fairly easy to build, but regarding accuracy it has a lot to ask for. The fuselage is about 10% to short, the shape of the wings and canards are wrong, the shape of the nose is wrong, the nose wheel is about 2 cm to far forward. The list could be made longer but these are the most obvious errors. The decals are good, but only include markings of a prototype machine. I would say build it straight from the box as it is, then buy the Italeri kit of the Gripen in 1:48 or 1:72 if you want a more accurate Gripen model. TwoBobs are just releasing new decals in 1:72 and 1:48 including some interesting markings... /Johan C, working at Saab with development of this beautiful aircraft...
