Building the Saab Jas-39 Gripen - 1/72 - Italeri - plastic scale model

In this video I am building a Jas-39 Gripen model airplane. The kit is from Italeri and I've added a photo etch set from Eduard along with quite a lot of scratch built details.

I know this is an older vid but it needs a comment. For a 1.72 scale the attention to detail in the undercarriage is fantastic mate. I know no one or not many will see it but you know its there. Not many would do it being a small scale including me up to this point. I have a couple of modern fighters in my stash and I will give mine the same treatment. Great work mate

[@Planehazza]

I've seen this build before, presumably in one of your multi part videos. It still impresses me now. Keep it up!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks, yes it was initially done as a series.

[@Planehazza]

@@MMScaleModels I love the scratch built details, and I'm impressed even more with this being 1/72. I added lots of wires and extra bits on my 1/48 Tamiya F-16. It's so satisfying and rewarding to do.

[@MMScaleModels]

Yees that's very rewarding experience.

[@steenbirketoft6250]

Amazing! You manage to do in 1:72, what I have difficulties doing in 1:48. Awesome!! Greetings from Denmark.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks Steen, I have the advantage of being able to cut the failed attempts from the video 😁

[@hakanjohansson6405]

Nice to see a gripen build. You really nailed it. I know that the real thing contains a lot of plastic parts and are also glued together. Of course somewhat more demands irl. Any way a nice build. Greetings from Sweden.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, unlike the real deal mine doesn't need to fly :)

[@robbo1068]

Another amazing public display....skillful, detailed and visually appealing. Your channel is such a great watch so will always be intrigued with what's next. I'm not into modern aircraft but really enjoy seeing (and taking on board) the techniques used and tips given. Thank you!!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thank you for your kind words Robert, I appreciate that you spend some of your time watching my videos.

[@TeaPoweredModels]

Great idea to make a shorter timelapse video! Great work!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks mate, got to think about everyone's viewing preferences right :)

[@TeaPoweredModels]

@@MMScaleModels Correct! Hopefully it will lead to more views on the series too!

[@MMScaleModels]

Me not at all 😁

[@Westfield000]

@@MMScaleModels I know the quality is not the best, but the Italeri models were my first models. I was about ten years old then. It's a matter of sentiment :).

[@MMScaleModels]

Back in the 90's they were pretty decent kits.... and the are still in the 90's while many others evolved. I also started on Italeri BTW but no sentiments from me 😃

[@pabloambrosio2861]

Parabéns muito lindo

Thanks mate!

[@judygarnhum2992]

Greetings from Nova Scotia, Canada! One question...if you preshade, is it better to fill panal lines as well? Thank you, Judy

[@MMScaleModels]

Hello Judy, regards to Canada. I am not sure what you mean. If you are talking about panel line washes then yes because they serve a different purpose.

[@judygarnhum2992]

@@MMScaleModels What is the purpose? Thank you kindly. Warm regards, Judy

[@MMScaleModels]

@@judygarnhum2992 While preshading creates subtle and somewhat gradual contrast in the general area of a detail (not only panel lines) a wash is adding a sense of separation between details. Hope that I explained that well. If not don't hesitate to ask again ;)

[@judygarnhum2992]

Just a comment for the algorithm.

[@MrCalland]

No matter the CA glue I cant get photoetch parts to bloody stick

[@MMScaleModels]

That happens to me all the time, sanding the back of the PE helps.

[@MrCalland]

Ah ok ill do that thanks

You guess and add rivets where on the real aircraft there is none. Result: Another Anime Manga model plane.

[@MMScaleModels]

I do respect your opinion, however I do not agree.
