Hey Phil, is it the final colour on the pix? Looks great, so far!🙂

@Holger, yes this is the final colour on the pix, the color looks now a little bit different with the claer cote on it but will be change again when I put the matt coat on it,
@Guido, I will make the Swedish one, the yellow and blue color from the decals turns out great on the basic color from the plane, I hope so!

You are faster than a roadrunner!
It is a pretty choice, it is one of the jets with the most beautyful form! I`m curious about the finish!

Hello guys, I just finished today my little Saab, I'm sedisfided about the result, it's build straight from the box, I just make the intake covers from tamiya tape and that's all, greetz Phil

Very nice result Phil, I like it! I always liked the Gripen but never heard/read good comments about these Italeri kits so I never bought them. It seems (once again) that those reviews are not always very accurate/objective as you just proved this is a nice build. Gonna add them to my wishlist right away!

Philip De Keyser
Thanks Wilfried, yes reviews are a dangeress something, I never bay something after a good or bad review, just looking in the box at every kit I bay, that's my review, there's always work on a kit, cheep or exspensiff, thanks and it's always nice to get nice comment, this is for me like redbull, greetz Phil

I like to use reviews, to find nice kits. But the reliability of some "reviews" is really sometimes a mess. I have some trusted sites, where i am normally not disappointed. PMMS, for example is great for reviewing AFV-Kits. If i will inform me about aircraft or aftermarket or everything else, i look at scaleplasticandrail. Modellversium is nice, too!

Album info

This is my little Saab Jas Gripen 1/72 scale with some color on, I just build this straight from the box, the kit is from Italeri and have nice pannellines, the cockpit is just a little bit basic but I try to give it some details, the plane is now ready to set some decals on it.
