SARguy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Liked the first Gripen so decided to build three more with different decals Edited March 30, 2015 by SARguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Was off yesterday while waiting for the paint to dry on Sea King made some progress on the three Gripens. Had a bit of accident as my glue bottle spilled and the back halves of one of the models got covered in glue. I carefully lifted them away and the did not touch them for a few hours. Got away pretty lucky on some washed out panel lines and some crispness in some of the parts. Have included a pic but may not be able to see much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Aw dude! That sucks! I see that it also wiped out all the grid lines from your cutting mat! The models don't look too damaged though. Good save! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nice save, looking forward to this one-man-GB :) Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thadeus Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Whoooa Mate! That's a lot of started models :) Your Grippens are looking good! I sometimes have the same thing, when I start 4 models simultaneusly I get the urge to start at least 4 more... The only problem is if these are the same models - You can end up making the same mistake 4 times... or 8 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Some progress just about to put clear coat on then try some of the Model-CZ decals in the next few days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SARguy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Calling these three done. The Model-cz decals went on pretty good just had to score them around edges first as they are printed on white decal paper. The black did chip a little so had to touch up a few spots. Yellow tanks are hand painted took a little artistic licence as could only find a few shots of the real tanks Edited March 28, 2015 by SARguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) The three together Together with the previous Gripen I build for the GB and one that I had completed last year using the Italeri kit Edited March 28, 2015 by SARguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Fantastic group of Gripens!!!!! :salute:/> Very well done. You have motivated me to try and find a copy or two of the Model-cz decals. This is definitely an inspirational build! Have fun modeling Mike :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SARguy Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi Mike I ordered them directly from the manufacturer, I found Petr easy to deal with and decals arrived swiftly. Challenge is site is not translated but once I selected decals I wanted got the total for decals and shipping quickly and paid via paypal.
