Just a quick question: Is it pronounced: "grippin" or "gripe'n"?

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.

Here's what they look like

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

I can put together a 3D 1:9 scale IRIS-T for the wingtip rails pretty quickly if I can find a 3-view or some dimensions of the fins. I couldn't find anything useful from a quick Google search. I already have the body done.

Do you have anything?

Wingspan 447mm

At the very least would love to have an IRIS-T for my wing tips.

STL files for the underwing rails would be good too.

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.

Do any have 3D files for weapon to this FW Jas39 in 1:9?
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.

[HockeyMac!]

This is what I'll be using. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2765476

Quite the engineering accomplishment that a modern fighter with one of the lowest operating cost per hour can utilize such a wide selection of armament.

Does anyone know the actual name of the drop tanks (the squarish looking ones) the Gripen uses? Best I find is drop tank or 1100 litre external fuel tank. Trying to model one up for the printer.

Here are some pics to give you top and side views.

Nope, not yet- maybe not till spring. I'm not a hardy Artic flyer like you.

Normally we have snow. Last year it was 1m/ 3ft at this time.
Its very hard to fly with frozen fingers ;-) .I have figured we need more clothes than we think so we are almost to warm. That way we have excess heat in the body that keep the fingers warm :-))

Video of the Gripen demonstrating emergency landing procedures on a taxiway at our field. Kind of stupid but no one was there and I was bored. There was a crosswind and I was staring into the sun during landings using the runway so.......

Excellent touch and go's Harold! Hey, shouldn't you have snow there by now?

Cool with weapon. Did you fly with the LE Flap?
