The JAS-39 Gripen fighter is a modern aircraft manufactured by Swedish company Saab. In service since the early 1990s, it has participated in many international exercises and NATO missions, including the Baltic Air Policing over the Baltic States. Armory Models AW48504 set allows for a precise recreation of the Gripen's characteristic landing gear on dioramas and display models, dedicated mainly to modelers seeking the highest level of detail.

I recommend this product to experienced modelers and to anyone wishing to enhance the visual appeal of their 1/48 scale Gripen models. The assembly difficulty is rated as 2/5 – requiring basic resin handling and fitting skills. It significantly increases the realism of the model, making it an attractive piece for collections and modeling competitions.
