smogmorph 0 Posted March 18, 2003 Model looks good, but the textures are way off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted March 18, 2003 I believe that's the protorype textures. The Gripens in service are painted in low-vis gray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killagee 0 Posted March 19, 2003 Complex studies were carried out during the selection processes for the SAAF, RAAF, the Chiliean Air force and for Poland. All seperate studies concluded that the Jas-39C (export version) was the best value for money of any multi-role fighter around. Unfortunately only the SAAF bought it. The aussies selected the Joint Strike Fighter, even though the Gripen scored higher in every catergory when price is considered. The Gripen even offered 40% better local industry offset deals. They said they the JAS_39 was omitted cause the RAAF needed twin engine fighters for over-sea operation. Anyone ever seen a twin engine F-35? didnt think so... Yeah, low vis textures would be better.

We are also being rather pro-American in an effort to secure a free-trade agreement with the U.S. Anyhoo, the model looks ripper - not too 'clean' as some addons tend to be....you'd expect military equipment to have a certain 'used' look...

killagee 0 Posted March 19, 2003 True enough Mr Snrub. Apparently though the RAAF are looking at the CTOL version of the F-35. My fav for the RAAF was the EF-2000 with conformal fuel tanks and Tranche 3 Export Software. Mmmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
