In an alternative timeline, instead of replacing the A-4's with F-16's the kiwi's opted for the Gripen.

Wow! K5054, young hobbit, there's something for you !  ;)  
Looks good!!!  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Very good take on the gripen. I wounder how it would look in the 3 color RNZAF camo?

I went with the one colour as many airforces are finding that it works better than 2 or 3 tone schemes.  But a proper RNZAF scheme might be a future project?

Looks pretty nice in the one color green scheme, sure makes it stand out from the normal grey scheme!

*nods head in approval* Yes, work this does - a very attractive machine, this scheme makes. Mmmm.....


Congratulations on a standout model pleb! I Like the allover green paint scheme, seems this USMC Green is an ideal match for that used on our aircraft. The roundels look perfect on her, too.

Nice.  The Gripen would have been the perfect replacement for the A4s.

Thanks again.  The paint is USMC Field Green from Hannats xtra range and the decals are from some A-4 kits from a Wellington modelshop plus some from a guy in Australia.  The original green I put on was way to dark.  Glad the colour does match.   :cheers:
