Saab Gripen

Scale 1:5

The Saab Gripen was designed as a counterpart to the Eurofighter and had its maiden flight in 1988. The outstanding STOL properties make it a universally applicable fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. The Czech Republic, Brazil, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Greece, Hungary and South Africa are among the first countries whose air force is equipped with the Gripen.

The 3D similar flight characteristics and the use of only one engine make the Gripen the ideal model for our scale replica on a scale of 1: 5. The canards enable extraordinary maneuverability and allow the tightest of flight and turning figures. Equipped with a 16kp turbine, the Gripen is in no way inferior to the Eurofighter in terms of its flight behavior. The surface of our full GRP kit is provided with all the details of the original and is just as impressive as the enormous dimensions of the model.

With the Saab Gripen JAS 39, we have developed a scale model suitable for competition, which is seamlessly linked to the successful series of our jet models.
