hatchet Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 At long last, I've finished my Italeri Gripen. Built as a semi-fast build and as a learning expirience, and also I was getting fed up with my Ra'am. What if Israeli bird armed with 2 GBU-16s, 1 AGM-65, 1 AGM-45 and 2 AIM-9L. Weapons came from Hasegawa Wapons sets, except kit Maverick. It's brush painted with Humbrol enamels and mounted on a Humbrol clear stand. Main thing I learned was to cover my models while the paint is drying ;) Haven't done much clean-up of seams and such, but it looks ok. Decals comes from the kit (stencils) Hasegawa Netz (plane#, Phoenix marking and chaff dispensers) and from Cutting Edge (Shield of David and kill markings) Enjoy it :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Looks like a great build, although I somehow don't like IDF/AF camo on this bird - looks weird to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
