      • 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

          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.

            Great job!

            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.

              Kinda poor example since this is a Swede trying to speak English at the time.

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

                There aren't any fins on the nose part. If you read the comments you would know what they are.

                        • 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?)
                          How do you say Saab Gripen? Listen to the audio pronunciation of Saab Gripen on pronouncekiwi

                              No, it's not! :)
                              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.

                                Kind of funny how the nose wheel on this plane looks almost identical to a Freewing nose wheel. 😲

                                    Sure you uploaded the changed version on thingi? Re-downloaded now and seems unchanged.

                                      What's wrong with those who DO speak the language in question trying to teach those who don't?

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

                                        Only in YOUR limited mind does this seem to be the case.
                                        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!

                                        • Here are some Gripen drop tanks!

                                          1/9 scale Gripen drop tanks with lug attachment. Adjust your printer settings for desired infill etc.
