Thanks all!
@Ferenc Sarka, I got mine from Aliexpress. 1x1mm neodymium magnets. Very small, but plenty strong enough for miniature plastic rockets.

Very nicely done Gripen and diorama. 👍

Just a small factual note: I know that the armament on your model can be freely changed thanks to the magnets, but this machine at the time it wore the special tiger livery could only carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, AIM-120 Amraam and additional tanks. Various combinations of the above armament can be found in photographs on the internet.

@Ludvík Kružík Thanks for the feedback, and the information. Indeed, I only found images with that armament, or with instrumentation pods (ACMI I think? Tried to replicate it in the last picture) on the wingtips.
I knew from the outset that most weapons combo's would not be realistic, but it started out more as an experiment than a real project.

I'm glad I could help. 😉 I understood that you demonstrated in the photos the possibilities of changing the armament when using magnets.

Since I started about the armament used, I will add more information to make it complete:
- after the modernization of the Czech Gripens, the front fuselage hanger was reinstalled. If necessary, a Litening 4i type LDP (Laser Designator Pod) can be mounted on it. And the ability to carry GBU ammunition has been added. When using GBU ammunition, the standard racks must be replaced with "NATO standard" racks.

All the information concerns the armament of the Air Force machines.
