REAL TO REPLICA BLUE SERIES No 1: THE SAAB JAS 39 GRIPEN

The Saab JAS 39 GRIPEN or GRIFFIN forms the primary fighter wing of the Swedish Air Force along with a several other nations. The Gripen is a highly-advanced multi-role aircraft utilising the latest in digital controls and weapons delivery, all the while being produced in a modestly sized and highly streamlined package to strict Swedish Air Force requirements. The JAS 39 has been in operational service since 1997 after a relatively long development period and over 240 of the type have been produced in single-seat and twin-seat forms. The Gripen remains one of the most potent advanced lightweight fighter designs, and is able to undertake a variety of mission roles from air defence to interception, ground attack to armed reconnaissance as well as training.

This 100-page full colour BLUE SERIES book looks in detail at the history and employment of the Gripen, with photographic references, walk arounds, and as the ‘Real to Replica’ title suggests there is a section on how to model the Gripen in popular scales, making this book and ideal resource for both the enthusiast and scale modeller alike.
