Japanese fighter jet art FTW.

That's really impressive actually. How much time does it take to paint

Apparently it's in the ballpark of 6 weeks and $100,000. I hope someday I'm in a position to be concerned about the cost and time to have my plane painted.

Sorry boss, I gotta leave 2 hours early to pick up my F-15 from the paint shop.

What’s that fighter at the bottom right? The paint job may not be as impressive as the others, but I like the overall design.

You don't know the Gripen? Shame, shame, shame!

I’m not nearly as familiar with military hardware as many of the regulars here.

Saab Gripen. I believe that’s one of the Swedish camo schemes but can’t be sure and don’t have time for more research RN.

You can juuust make out the Swedish rondell: a circle with 3 crowns.

I think its a gripen. I don't know much of anything about jets but the only modern fighter I know with those foward wing things is the gripen.

DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Those forward wing things are called canards. 3 modern fighters have them.

Saab Gripen: grey, delta wings, single engine, rectangular side intakes.
Dassault Rafale: grey, delta wings, twin engine, round side intakes and fixed fuel probe. Only fighter known to defeat the F-22 in simulated combat.
Eurofighter Typhoon: grey, delta wings, twin engine, rectangular lower intakes.

I'd say, the one and only Gripen från Norden.
