JAS39C Gripen, 1/48 Kittyhawk


Recommended Posts

Another one bites the dust.
Finished this fun and different project. It's a commission build of a Gripen C but painted up like the Gripen E prototype.
I have to say that I'm, myself, partial to this scheme. It's simply gorgeous and fun to paint.
The kit is the Kittyhawk in 1/48 with a bit of CMK resin and Aires exhausts. And it's a horrible kit as you know...this particular one suffered from the fuselage halves being of different length....
But I'm not griping about the Gripen... I'm a modeller after all :P.
Anyways here is what it ended up like.
