Re: 1/72 Revell JAS-39C Gripen
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!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Thanks guys! I think it's ready for primer and paint but the weather has other ideas.

Re: 1/72 Revell JAS-39C Gripen
That is some very impressive detailing on such a small model!
Re: 1/72 Revell JAS-39C Gripen
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!"..

Re: 1/72 Revell JAS-39C Gripen
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
