Burt,
Another one of your well built, painted, and decaled jets. The Saab Gripen isn't exactly a household name that many WW11 modelers would know of, so the subject was certainly an excellent choice. From your description of the build it does indeed seem that Kitty Hawk has produced well engineered kit.

The vast majority of kits that I've built with air brakes or hatch covers in the closed position rather then in the designed open position, have for the most part been major fit issues. So in this case Kitty Hawk certainly isn't alone.

Joel

VERY nice! How have you masked the nose to get the sharp delimitation?
