This new pre-painted photo etch set by Maestro Models Conversions features a pre-painted photo etch boarding ladder for the SAAB JAS-39 Gripen.  This ladder fits all versions of Gripen, including the two-seaters.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

This ladder is just the sort of detail item that does wonders bringing your model to life.  The detailing is very well done and the delicate nature of this pre-painted ladder makes it a much sought after diorama item. 

You can purchase this and other fine resin and photo etch detail items as well as decals directly from Maestro Models Conversions or from the many retailers that carry their products.
