Pilatus Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Hi to all! I buy from Maestro Models Gripen conversion to JAS-39C or D. In set is new tail section and one wheel (nose wheel). I never see any Gripen with one nose wheel. Any info, picture for this Gripen with one nose wheel? Who and where is that planes used? Thank you!

Sebastijan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It is interesting that even on their page, there is only one wheel in the photo and the caption says "... and converted wheel" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pilatus Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yes, it's very interesting. I looked lot's of photos, have few books about Gripen, but I didn't find anywhere Gripen with one nose wheel. I'll try to contact maestro models and post result here. regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pilatus Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Here is answer from Maestro Models: "That is a mistake from our side. The replacement wheel should have been two main wheels. We have casted extra wheels and will send you the missing item and new instruction." My mystery is solved, Gripen still have two wheels on nose leg :) and nose wheel in the set is already main wheel Edited September 14, 2011 by Pilatus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I just really wish Revell would tool a 1/72 Gripen C/D to the same standard as their Typhoon kits. The Italeri kit is really showing it's age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
