Amazing project, congrats, it looks like a lot of fun! Since you had to replace the roof, did you go with a Carbon Fiber roof to lower the weight and center of gravity? I personally would go white because there's so much you can do with stickers. You can go with a Martini racing theme, you can make sponsors stand out, you can go ala '98 GT1 Lemans type graphic theme. You can add vinyl graphics so you'll have your Swedish airforce theme (I didnt' even know they had an airforce lol), then when you don't like it, just peel off the gray and red and your back to a nice clean white canvas to start all over again. But that Blue does look amazing.

Yes it looks like I go "Carrera White"!!
Easiest with sponsor decals..
Didn´t you know we make the best Fighters in the world??
It´s kind of like the Nissan GTR most bang for the buck! Viggen and JAS are the ones we use for the moment..JAS is a unstable plane like the Eurofighter just a bit cheaper and a bit better/Pete

Pete, hadnt seen you over on the list (not that I'm over there anymore) since you made a mention of the 996 awhile back. Nice to see some updates.
Congrats on the progress, do you still own the 951?
