The Saab JAS-39 Gripen is a modern multi-role fighter aircraft developed by Sweden to serve as the backbone of its air force. Compact, agile, and equipped with advanced avionics, the Gripen is capable of air-to-air, air-to-ground, and reconnaissance missions. The two-seat JAS-39D variant is primarily used for training and conversion but retains full combat capabilities, allowing it to serve effectively in operational missions as well. Its versatility has made it popular with several air forces around the world.
This 1/72 scale Italeri kit accurately reproduces the sleek design of the twin-seat Gripen. It includes finely engraved surface details, a detailed cockpit with two crew positions, external fuel tanks, and a selection of weapon loadouts. Clear parts are provided for the canopy, and the kit comes with decals for multiple marking options, enabling modellers to recreate aircraft from various international operators.
