Hello everybody, this is the next project that I have made, it’s the little Saab JAS Gripen from Italeri on a 1/72 scale, it’s build straight from the box, the intake covers are made from Tamiya tape, I must say that this little one have some nice details, the only minus is the cockpit, these is a little bit to basic but for the professionals are there several aftermarket set’s to become,

I’ve used the old Humbrol colors, and finished it with a wash en pastel powder to give it a used look, put it on a  little display with a nice nameplate and its finished.

So you can see that you’ve get a nice result with a little and cheep kit, I’m satisfied with the result and will build a second one on 1/72 scale.
