JAS 39 Gripen – update 3

Mostly small parts left to sort, and I also wanna make sure I got everything on that’s not easily broken off (except the canards) glued on to the plane.

The diamond shaped pieces are the small lights at each side sitting slightly behind the intake. I checked pics and so far I can find there’s no diamond shape plate as they’re sitting directly on to the fuselage. So I cut away the excess and sanded them down a bit.

Then there’s a piece of glass to go to each of them. Will do that later when the plane is painted. Maybe the glass should be coloured too.

I glued fins to all the missiles, which on some wasn’t easy as Revell haven’t made the slightest mark on where they should go, making it harder to get both in the correct position and straight.

I also glued the pylons, two of each kind.

Both pylons seems to fit on any place under the wings, but I have to check which missile to use and where.

Here are the possible missiles to choose from.

Now I need to figure out which ones to use and how they should be painted. I think most of them are grey with differently coloured noses.
