I think the shape of the revell version is better than the italeri.

I made the revell version earlier. A little bit better but neither of them is issue free. The revell unreachable on the market, just the italeri version. Good luck for your project.

I am definitely following this build. The Italeri kit is not an easy build (and it is a model of the very first A-version of the Gripen, not the C-version used by Hungary), but it is the only one that exists today. I am however sure you will do a splendid job!

Hallo Mark, Ik ben geintresseerd in deze en je K-4386 Typhoon-VDV, en zou deze graag van je willen overnemen.

Hoi Edo, dank voor je interesse.
Ik heb 'm nog, dus dan kan ie voor jou zijn.
Ga je toevallig naar de SMC in oktober? Dan kan ik 'm voor je meenemen. Als je 'm eerder wilt moeten we of ergens afspreken, of ik stuur 'm naar je op.
Waar woon je? Ik in de buurt van Arnhem.
Mark

Ik woon in Apeldoorn, maar aankomende tijd wat druk duspsturen vind ik prima! Misschien via marktplaats doen? Dan hoef ik mijn adres hier niet te delen (ik weet niet of we hier een prive gesprek hebben of dat het op onze wall staat)

Thanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.

You're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.

Nice, Nice 👍👍, lalways wanted to see a vacform build, Do you have to make up other parts to add on ??
Thanks for upload 😃👍

Thanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

Thanks 👍👍 great, will do , l have an intest...as l enjoy making parts, lve had to do it few times, when parts lost or broken or details missed of kit...even canopy once 🤣.
Will check out the XP-67

@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.

@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

Luckily the old Russian saying applies to Sweden too - "we have only 10 months of winter, but all the rest is summer!" 😄

Mr D - regarding reference photos and material, did research some photos and blue prints on-line. In addition I have also checked out some ref builds both in 1/72 & 1/48 for further input on details.
Yes, the PE venting turned out good. Next step is to paint the cockpit and glue the airframe together

Great 👍👍 l like something different n interesting like this.
I recently used the thick tin foil of a hot chocolate lid to make a lost seat belt, it worked really well.
Like the seat.
Thanks for input n uploading 😁👌

Mr D - thanks for your intrest and encouraging comments.
This time I went the easy way with just some tape for seat belts
17 August, 13:12
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Thanks! Feels always nice when the main build part is done and everything is aligned. Now time for rescribing.

Thanks Finn & Cuajete for your comments & intrest! Rescribing up next and then some final sanding to prep for paint.
Will try AK extreme metal paints for the first time in this build. Any experiance, tips or tricks regarding these paints for a solid result?
