JAS-39c Gripen Italeri 1/72

As a Czech I am glad that someone else will build a plane in Czech colours. Your Gripen looks good. 👍

I just have a comment about the armament.You used the wrong armament on your Gripen. Czech Gripens use only external fuel tanks and AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120C AMRAAM missiles. Typical armament placement on the aircraft can be seen here:

Only recently, the armament of the Czech Gripen has been expanded to include the ability to carry LPD container and GBU ammunition.

Thanks for your comment and info!!! This was one of my first build and I never looked at any armament documentation. This was also a pretty hard kit to get right. The fit is not good and the Tiger decal on the tail was not useable.

Vincent, for one of your first models, the Gripen looks very good.
In no way did I mean to criticize your model. I just meant it as information for possible further building of the Czech Gripen.

Italeri Gripen kits in 1:72 and 1:48 scale are not among the best. If you want to build a Gripen version C from them, a lot of modifications are needed. I know what I'm writing about because I'm building one Gripen from Italeri (1:48 scale).

If you ever build a Czech Gripen again in the future, I can provide you with the information and documents I have if you are interested.
