"What-if" JAS-39 Gripen in polish markings is finished .It's 1/32 Revell with Master Pitot's Tubes and Techmod F-16 decals. Painted with Tamyia acrylics. Weathered with Tamyia Smoke, panel liners and pigments. Missiles are from Trumpeter set (Revell ones were awful). I wish I could use Paragon resin seat but it turned to be too big (sic!). I had no other option but to use seat from kit.
I wished that Gripen would be Poland's multirole fighter...but well, sh..t happens...

Well done, that's an excellent paint job. I'm generally not a fan of weathering, but yours looks just right.
Good idea, too. :thumbsup:
I like it too, that bird looks good. ;D :thumbsup:
:cheers:
Very pretty! Great finish, BTW. :thumbsup:
Cool.
:thumbsup:
Lovely :thumbsup:
looks great, i didnt knew Revell had a 1/32 Gripen (unless you mean 1/72) :wub:
Love it Wacek! I spent a good chunk of the 1990s as pert of the team trying to make this happen. Still got a couple of the desktop models.
Nice one ! Very well done, lobe the finish on her. Needs a 72nd scale bird on it's wing to give it some scale :thumbsup:
