Revell 1/72 Saab JAS-39D Gripen Twinseater

Description

Tandem two-seater

 

The Gripen or "Griffon" is a canard-equipped, delta-winged fighter with fly-by-wire controls that was introduced in the late nineties. It was wholly developed by Sweden and has proven controversial in many respects, but entirely successful. With its Mach 2 maximum speed and multitude of weapons options, the Gripen is an aircraft to be reckoned with. Kit features detailed cockpit and undercarriage plus auxiliary fuel tanks, RB-15, Sidewinder, and AIM-120 guided missiles, and decals for a Swedish version.
