1:48 Jas-39A Gripen Early version (for Kitty Hawk kit)

1:48 Saab JAS 39A Gripen, early version - 3D instrument panel (Red Fox Studio)

This is a pre-painted three-dimensional instrument panel of colored resin, not an aircraft kit. The accessory is meant for models of the single-seat JAS 39A Gripen in its early version in 1:48 scale and replaces the empty instrument panel with a faithfully painted one with displays and imitated gloss on the glasses.

The real subject

The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is a Swedish lightweight multirole fighter of canard layout, able to carry out fighter, strike and reconnaissance duties. The single-seat A version was the first production form, with a modern cockpit built around multifunction displays.

Use and fitting

• Separate the part from its carrier frame and glue it in place of the original panel.
• Super glue (cyanoacrylate) is ideal; modeling PVA glue can be used as well.
• The surface is finished; neither the displays nor the dials have to be painted in.

Who it is for

• Modelers of modern jets who want a convincing cockpit without laborious painting.
• Builders who are not satisfied with the flat instrument panel from the base kit.
• Admirers of Swedish aircraft.

This is an interior accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
