Wow, that is something else! I built one of these 1/72 scale Gripens and never considered adding the photo etch. Too much for me man! Way to go!

Crazy PE work! Wow...looks great.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Man, trying to find the correct colors for this one is pain in the ass. The instructions say one thing and IPMS Stockholm say a completely different thing.

The instructions say FS36375 (light ghost grey) and FS36270 (medium grey).

IPMS Stockholm says FS36373 and FS36173
