Great stuff!

Have you build a Saab J37 Viggen ? Those are really cool planes!

South African aircraft aren’t modelled that often. Cool to see one!

Or a (still) What-if and build a Finnish version...

Finland is soon making a decision, what will be the new fighters, replacing the current F/A-18 Hornets.
The Gripen is one alternative, others are: F/A-18 Super Hornet, Dassault Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon and the F-35.

It will be a big deal, the airforce will need 64 fighters..

Nice choices for Finland. Although the F-35 is a very expensive aircraft. I watched an episode of Air Warriors on the F-35 not too long ago. I personally don't like the looks of the F-35. Too futuristic for my taste.
