KITTY HAWK 80118 SAAB JAS-39B/D GRIPEN SWEDISH INTERCEPTOR 1/48 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen (griffin) is a lightweight single-engine multirole fighter manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab. It was designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet).
The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire technology. It is powered by the Volvo-Flygmotor RM12 engine, a derivative of the General Electric F404, and has a top speed of Mach 2. Later aircraft are equipped for in-flight refuelling; most of the export aircraft have been designed to be compatible with NATO interoperability standards.
FEATURES:
Kitty Hawk’s 1:48 scale JAS-39A/C comprises 276 parts in pale grey plastic, ten parts in clear and a photo-etched fret with 19 metal pieces.
Surface detail is incredibly fine and crisply rendered – it looks really good. Ejector pins have been carefully planned so that none (that I can see so far) will be present on visible surfaces once the model has been built.
