Saab JAS-39 C Gripen
As by the construction of Ju 88 of Dragon, or by the construction of the Mosquito wings with separate wingtips of Tamiya, one must deviate from the construction manual to avoid unnecessary repairs. Also with the Gripen one should stick together body halv
As one can see, I have already cut out behind the cockpit the cover of the pressuration/air-conditioning unit.
I can recommend the cockpit of Aires very much. The details are not only fine but also perfectly faithful. The seat belts are added as photoetched parts. On heating up the photoetched parts, the seatbelts can be brought very well in form.

The avionic bays of Aires which should be accommodated later behind the fuselage nose. I like the bright colours with those the modern airplanes nowadays are painted.
Please, do not surprise. . . .but I never work really strictly after construction manuals. Mostly I build complete sub-groups sometime occasionally. According to mood. . . as well as with the weapons. The Maverick missiles are from Eduard. Actually, alrea
Before fuselage halves are clued together, must be still built the inflight refueling pipe, front wheelbay and airbrakes bays..
In the meantime, fuselage halves have been glued, and the pressuration/air-conditioning unit have been built up after photos from plastic sheet. One finds high-class photos in the second book of my abovementioned book list.

Funny enough the Strut scissors at the Main landing gear are absent in the kit. Thus, then that one must build himself.
The small Stencil Decals on ready painted landing gears come from airscale.
The airinlet FOD`s are made out of "Aves Apoxie Sculpt".
The missing rivets in the rear were complemented with Rivet Detail Decals of "Micro Mark", available in three different scales.
There is on the left and on the right below the Canards, in each case a small air nozzle, don`t know which purpose they have. Here still unpainted.

It has been written a lot about Kittyhawks Gripen kit. Unfortunately, also of a lot of negative by which a wrong picture originates from this, actually, nice kit. It is a kit of the new generation, with the quite normal positive and negative points like all other new kits also. In the construction report I will mention the really relevant small mistakes I discovered.
I have used the following books as references:
Saab Gripen, Author: Gerard Keijsper
JAS-39 Gripen Swedish Multirole Fighter, Author: Slavomir Goldemund
Saab JAS 39 Gripen colours & markings, Author: Michal Ovčáčík, Karel Susa
How with most kits for different versions are intended, should one not work strictly after constructriction manual. As by the construction of Ju 88 of Dragon, or by the construction of the Mosquito wings with separate wingtips of Tamiya, one must deviate from the construction manual to avoid unnecessary repairs.
Also with the Gripen one should stick together the fuselage halves separately.
