Default Skymaster Gripen with scale features

Gentlemen (and ladies)
Here are some pictures of my Skymaster Gripen which will be ready to fly in 3-4 weeks time. The original ARTF model has been updated with some scale features:



9 added small fin's.
The leading edge of the air intakes has been made seamless and thinner.
The rudder servo is moved in to the rear of the fuse and rudder controlled by torque rod.
Cockpit updated with eject seat, pilot, instruments and head up display.
Missile pylons custom made and fitted to the wings and fuselage (+300g).
Central drop tank (100-150g)
4 off AMRAAM missiles (50g each)
2 off Sidewinder 9L missiles (35g each)
Navigation lights (red/gren)
Strobe (rear of fin)
Nose wheel door modified to 3-door set up with landing light in front door
Main doors cut up to 2-door set up to allow sequenced gear door timing (door closes when gear is out).

Finally has Michael Graff in Sweden done his magic with his air brush. Thanks again !
