Saab’s JAS 39 Gripen is a light, single-engined, supersonic, multirole fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace and defence company. The Gripen features a delta wing and canard configuration and fly-by-wire flight controls.

In 1979, the Swedish government began development studies for an aircraft to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force. A new design from Saab was selected and developed as the JAS 39. Saab rolled out the first Gripen in 26th April 1987, marking the company's 50th anniversary, and on 9th December 1988, the first prototype (39101) made its maiden flight. The Swedish Air Force ordered Gripens in three batches and the first serial production aircraft (39102) was handed over during a ceremony at Linköping on 8th June 1993. Later upgraded variants, featuring more advanced avionics, a more powerful engine, increased weapons payload capability, new cockpit, new avionics architecture, new electronic warfare system and adaptations for longer mission times, began entering service in 2003 and are fully NATO inter-operable. In addition to the aircraft's single 27mm Mauser BK-27 cannon, the Gripen is compatible with a number of different armaments, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles and anti-ship missiles.

In 2006, the Brazilian Air Force began to look for its future fighter aircraft. In the running were the Eurofighter Typhoon, Sukhoi Su-35, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafael, Boeing F/A-18 and Lockheed Martin F-16. In 2010, the final evaluation report placed the Gripen at the top of the list and, after a further extended delay, the choice was finally confirmed. The first aircraft, wearing the number 4100, as modelled here, arrived on Brazilian soil in September 2020. The model comes complete with a very sturdy, metal display stand, which slots very neatly over the rear of the canard wings. Once mounted, the model can be swivelled from side to side to allow for a variety of display angles. It also features a nicely-detailed cockpit, complete with a pilot figure. A selection of ordnance is supplied, for optional fitment, and the detailed undercarriage is fixed in deployed mode. The single-seater Gripen really looks the part and is wonderfully finished. The paintwork features a suitable level of sheen and the markings are all perfectly applied.
