    Far better Swedish pronunciation to be heard in this video: https://youtu.be/FWAyPWAUfMU

    Would propose the following changes:

    - Lose the aft fins on the nose part. They should not be there.
    - The body diameter should probably be increased a tiny tad. The diameter should be almost exactly the same as each of the large vanes.

    The latter. At least that will be far closer.

    G + reap (what you sow) + en (as in the last two letters of an egg-laying hen)

    In general pronounced far slower than most Americans by instinct would.

    1:9 scale IRIS-T missile with lug to fit Freewing Gripen wingtip rail. The nose section has some breakaway parts that look like fins to support it upright while printing. These are not part of the missile - remove after printing. Will need supports. Underwing pylons at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4713773

    It was hard to find more than lengt and diameter. I gess you have to stipelate the rest...
    Here is my first shot. the body dimensions are good. The fins are guesstimated from photos.

    I haven't split it up into easily printable parts yet. Let me know if you think it OK and i'll work on the printing.

    Agree, 3DP pylons would be extra cool.
    If anyone does share some, I'll be grateful! :D

    Do you have anything?

    The IRIS-T (Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) is a German-led program to develop a short-range air-to-air missile to replace the venerable AIM-9 Sidewinder found in some of the NATO member countries. Any aircraft capable of carrying and firing Sidewinder is also capable of launching IRIS-T. In the 1980s, NATO countries signed a Memorandum of Agreement that the United States would develop a medium-range air-to-air missile to replace the AIM-7 Sparrow, while Britain and Germa

    Absolutely.

    Would love to sit down and model a bit more myself, just so darn hard to find time these days.

    Instead, having something like 4-5 models needing work, building up a nice little backlog.

    And obviously, a couple of Meteors under the wings would be nice too. After all, it is quite likely the most dangerous air to air missile in existence right now.
    STL files for the underwing rails would be good too.

    I can see its using many of the same weapons as others figher jet is using.
    I have a 1:9 Sidewinder up on Thingiverse with lugs to fit the wingtip rails. Just search for my name or for Gripen.
