Ripple Gripen

[Scooterman]

Let the madness begin.  Just the basics and a shot of the color scheme.

Yes I did the color mock up in colored pencil.  I don't have any drawing programs on the computer save 'paint' and AutoCAD so I do it the old fashioned way.

I'll tipple to that ripple Gripple, er, Gripen thingamy!  

And MS Paint can actually be easy to work with once you grab a picture, set aside some time, and experiment. That one you've got there would be a cinch.

Beautiful, but maybe no madness....Empire Test Pilot's School is operating (or will be in the very near future) a couple of Gripens now...ripple could be right aroundthe corner!!

I like it!!!!!!!! I wish Italeri would hurry up and release the two seat 1/48 version.

Proof that whiffers are not crazy, just on the cutting edge of reality.  


Well, okay, we're crazy too.

Ditto!

Are they really planning on releasing the two-seater in 1:48?

Yep.  Two sets actually.  From a Xtradecal Hawk sheet and the Hasey DERA two seat Jag.  But thanks anyway!!

Excellent and really, a logical idea.

Okay, when I get my act together and buy one of those, I am painting my BD-5J in A&AEE colours.

A spotter, perhaps?

And that Ripen Gripple is gonna be sharp! I'm lovin that!  

And BTW, that's how I came up with the scheme for race #42 "Life, The Universe And Everything". Just coloured in the instructions. Handy.... B)
