Added more details. Around 13k and something tris right now the whole model. I might re-do some things more “light” cause still i havent added Pilot/Wheels/Pylons and lights (and probably optimize some a bit) and this i know will add up in tri count. So what i added was the wingtip pylons, the gun pod, the Cockpit tub, the HUD, the exaust sytem (inner and outer) and the “seperator” in the canopy glass (i dont know how its called. As i said RL work is hard this period and its hard for me to dtay focused and have the mental strength to work as i want but whenever i do work i try to be good or ok… Enjoy…
PS. 3 days now and i allready have more than 10 overhours in work… and this is exasuting me…Again ill thank Repvez for giving me his Grippen… It helped me a lot

Maybe you mean too long? I fixed it allready. Comparing it with photos and profiles around the web…
EDIT… mind that in the model is in fully open positition

I never thought that a day would come to use Instagram as a source for Falcon…

But a man has to do what needs to be done… :lol:

You would not believe the gold I’ve traced lately hosted to this service…

I do. I follow the Portugal airforce and they have stanning pictures.
The thing is I don’t know how to download them. I only use Instagram on my phone. [emoji38]Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

Nice one… And i did spot a mistake i have… though ill try to compare it with other photos as well… Maybe its country depended, im speaking for the small fins on the vertical fin… On my end this is some work i done today (nothing much and completely basic) just some basic stuff for the 3d models office… The hud holds to many tris/polys… i have to reduce it A LOT!

https://image.ibb.co/iQ6Txw/Grip_Cockpit.jpgNot really a mistake. In general, JAS-39A/Bs do not have these fins at all. Most of JAS-39C/Ds left the factory with fins on the top rear part of the vertical stabilizer - just the way you have it and same as can be seen in the picture below. It is only C/D airframes from the late production runs which were fitted with the fins on the front lower part (in the picture from Raptor) from the very beginning - this is mainly the case for Thai, South African and some of Swedish C/Ds. A majority of Swedish and all Czech and Hungarian C/Ds entered service with the fins on the rear part of the vertical stab, but the fins were later moved to the front position as a result of modernisation and upgrades to individual airframes.

Thanks for the info! That is what i thought also cause i ve seen many photos like Raptor shared and other like yours! But to get a “modern” and latest version i have to move them witch isn’t difficult at all! There’s other things more difficult to make in this model than that!

Glad if this helped, Manos! Should you need more info or details regarding exterior, please let me know ;).

Status update: I edited the fins on the vertical, changed the HUD and the afterburner can to less triangle ones and added the seat and the pilot (taken from the AUP) i need to edit the helmet a bit so it looks like the swedish ones a bit. Changing the things i said i gained aboout 1000 and something tris that made me use the pilot without optimizing it that much as i did in AUP. Current tri count around 14k… still low :).
Now i have to make the wheels or use Repvez ones and their wells as well but edit them of course to be a bit more accurate and maybe add some stuff,add the electronics behind the Ejection seat and the wall there also,the flap & aileron actuators as well as the pylons -
NG version has a GREAT cockpit…

I wonder if one can break the screen with excess g’s.

Some progress. Added Repvez’s wheels and refuelling probe, also cut the airbrakes and the wheel wells,also the pylons(need some fixes in the main ones or cut the intakes what you suggest?). Still need to add stick and throttle and the electronic boxes behind the ejection seat,Flaps/ailerons/slats and of course last but not least the afterburner. Current tri count 23570 and i calculate a rough estimate of 25k in the end. Im trying also to fix and edit minor mistakes here and there vertex by vertex or face by face and cut/edit/mirror small things that i might find in 1 side ok and other side wrong (i used the symmetry in the start but during the process some things got wrong by pure mistake of me). I think im in a good way But real life keeps holding me back cause of real work. I havent lost though my creative apetite its just as i said before that sometimes i dont feel like doing anything at all!
