Detail review of the 1/48 twin-seat Gripen

The Italeri 1/48 JAS-39 Gripen twin seater reproduces the aircrafts compact lines and dual-seat layout at a displayable scale. The kit provides a clear study of the Gripen family in miniature and suits modellers aiming for an accurate static replica.

Operational background and capabilities

Designed by Saab, the JAS-39 Gripen performs as a multi-role aircraft capable of interception, strike and naval support when equipped. Its compact design and modular loadout have made it a notable option alongside other modern fighters such as the Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon.

Build characteristics and presentation

The Italeri moulding reproduces subtle surface detail and control surfaces at 1/48 scale. With a finished length of 31 cm the model presents well on a shelf or in a display case. The kit parts are engineered to fit cleanly, rewarding careful construction and finishing.
