Nothing on mine... still unfulfilled... come on baby!

I just got a text and a FedEx trackingnr. Yippie😀😀😀

Riiiiiiiight

Apparently the EU container just showed up and they are shipping to customers. They are even posting shipping notices on the MRC Facebook page. Seems like the US container got held up for some reason and James posted on FB that the new estimate for the US is early Nov.

[kallend]

The silver lining to that for US customers being that the Europeans will have the opportunity to be the Beta testers.😄

Happy to see the EU guys will be getting their Gripens up and flying soon! Anyone going for a custom scheme out the gate?

Not a custom scheme, I rather like the choice FW/MRC made on that.

I *am* going turbine though :D

Now I just need to get off my butt and finish the MiG build to clear workshop space for the Gripen conversion 😋

[Evan D]

I am.

Answer some questions James. When is the US container arriving? When will we be able to order the TV assemblies for this and the MiG?

Most importantly;
Has Motion or FW started an additional investigation into the MiG crashes?

[crxmanpat]

When I get mine, I'll repaint like this. Yes, this is an E model, not a C like what we are getting, but at least mine will look different from the others.

That's great, nice to see our neighbors across the pond getting first dibs.

+1 here.... YIKESSSS! :DDDDDDDDD

[Pegg00]

Can anyone link some sidewinders or similar weapons that will fit the wing rails of the Gripen?

[Evan D]

I've been using Suko's (resized for some projects)...

I will paint it in the Swedish Air Force's color scheme. Braked wheels, gyro, led afterburner, custom painted pilot figure, as a gripen display pilot, otherwise original.👍😀

Wow, that E model camo job sure does breakup the airplane profile/shape doesn't it. That is the last thing I need for my old eyes ! Different ? Yes but for how many minutes !!!!

[crxmanpat]

Just keep it in close.

[SanExup]

I hope you go with that and show it off to us, that is a wicked camo scheme.

[Evan D]

My choice if I don’t get pissed and cancel the preorder...

[SanExup]

It looks worth the patience! That grey on grey camo pattern looks really appealing, especially all loaded out like that. Though even in base grey the Gripen is appealing.

It's late October where's my Gripen Motion RC??🤬 lol!!

[HockeyMac!]

Any got leads on the winter splinter color match? Sure we can eyeball it, but would like to be accurate!
