1:9 scale IRIS-T missile to fit Gripen wingtip rails.
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

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.Freewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

- 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.

Tomato, tomaato ..................... Let's put this thing to rest. It's a ridiculous debate. Pronounce it however you want. It's like that whole crap about "tail heavy", "tail heavier", "nose heavy", "nose heavier". EVERYBODY knows what you're talking about. (Where's that FACEPALM emoji?)

And I couldn't care less about what you think is or isn't crap, tbh.
You can keep those comments to yourself and spare the readers of actual useless 'crap'.
Best regards,
Jandro.

Well, I guess if it is a life goal of yours to avoid pronouncing every foreign word incorrectly, then sure.

I've posted up a link showing how different people pronounce it and even the Swedes pronounce it in different ways. I've watched for months how you and others fight with one another and throughout it all, it's been YOU, who have been the worst perpetrator. It's just not worth reading your garbage any further. I guess it's time for another to go on the IGNORE list. GOOD BYE!
