From what I've found, this scheme was just introduced in December 2019.

I'll be installing thrust vectoring from the get-go on the Gripen. Hopefully there will be a pre-order, hint...hint. After watching the live stream recording just now, I noticed the tailcone/nozzle was said to be foam compared to the plastic on the non-TV tail. That's beneficial for weight savings, which is excellent, and the downside in this case is that it looks less realistic compared to the plastic nozzle. I notice the petals on the nozzles look different from each other (I'm not talking about the whole tail piece looking different as that's a given since it has TV). Ha-ha

We've decided that we're going to make it available in the same format as the Gripen, since most people seem to prefer it that way. Factory molded/painted, servos pre-installed, drop-in installation.
