With my AW Gripen in a trailer over a thousand miles away on it's way to Lakeland, FL, I have been doing two things:
1) catching up on some much sleep
2) making some additional scale details

I built/painted lthe AOA & yaw vanes that mount on the sides and bottom of the nose, the white disc shaped EW sensor on the fin fairing (below the strobe), the temperature probe under the left canard, the IFF antennas on the aircraft spine, the airfoil shaped vent for the aft belly, the teardrop shaped FAU under the nose, the inboard and middle reinforcement fairings for the aileron hinges, and the pitot tubes. These parts will all be glued in place at the event.


I also whipped up some decals for the ejection seat and wheels and printed them on clear adhesive backed sheets. I forgot to measure the size needed while the plane was still here so I printed the seat decals in various scales and will choose the best one at the event. I did have the 3D printed prototype rims so I was able to get the needed size of the rim decals.


Regards,

Jim
