yep it only ever materialised as render from saab
Unfortunately most of the unique camos come from earlier models of the Gripen. As far as I can tell A model probably would get the most unless they transfer some to C/D/E models as semi-historical, like this one we just got:
(Editing and adding more images as i find them)
Most of the images can be found here: Flickr: The Saab JAS 39 Gripen Pool , some really great pictures in there in general.

Oh, i didn’t realize the NG camo was different from the maritime one lol. I though they were the same :P
I wanted to include Swedish camos only but still couldnt find JAS39E/F demo for some reason
Not sure which one you’re referring to.
Do you mean this one?
It’s the mockup NG, this one is fake, real mockup but fake vehicle, it was also seen with the Gungnir mockup.
@Seiun
ETPS tail camo btw is for the British flight training school not swedish, it’s the only owned Gripen in RAF service used exclusively for training
Copped the new camo and immediately got 5 kills in a single AMRAAM salvo in NT. Also there’s this weird persistent red ambient lighting under the fuselage?
Yes the D based NG demo
I’m fully aware
Then it’s highly unlikely we would get it
Considering that Sweden is the only nation with D model I’d say its likely we get it at some point. No matter if the vehicle originally belonged to UK since its not a vehicle addition but a skin and these function on different terms in WT.
We have gotten ahistorical skins for vehicles that don’t match the actual vehicle.
Dynamite 6-1 for J35A (F-35)
Red day glow 131 for Gripen E (Gripen A)
Finnish Woodland Camo for K9 Vidar (Moukari)
Johan Gul for J35XS (J35J)
Ect ect
Not really, a semi-historical or fictional camo wouldn’t be unreasonable given that there are camos like this in the game:
It’s not that, it’s that it would make far more sense to be added to the ZA MS19 Gripen since it’s on the UK tree.
Going to Sweden wouldn’t make sense, just like how Russia still getting Finlands woodland camo makes no sense
Oh, i’m not that knowledgeable in how skins are chosen for specific countries that operate the same vehicle. Mind giving me a TLDR?
This is a long rant so I’m just closing it into this so I don’t muddle the entire forum here.

It’s honestly all over the place, skins usually go to nations that make sense or have ties, or just being money in with the snail see moments of valor skin choices for that.
Germany got Finnish skins before Finland was added. Same with Russia though they just don’t stop getting Finnish skins but that’s a whole other can of worms.
Short story short, skins go where gaijin wants them and sometimes they don’t make much sense. In the case for asking for a British flight school camo for a swedish Gripen it makes less sense for it to go to us when a Gripen exists on the UK tree.
Vehicles don’t need to match 100% either as I listed with the camos above. Hell Finlands WW2 ground vehicles basically only have 2 or 1 Finnish camo with the rest being swedish.
As for market camos those camos are applied based on what vehicle the creator makes it for. IE see all the Draken camos I listed above.
Regardless the point was why would Sweden get a British flight school Camo?
Market camo for the J35A was made for that vehicle, thus it was skipped and not added for the actual intended vehicle.
Arguably this is why Johan Gul was also probably axed despite being basically finished back in 2022 when the J35J was first shown off, only difference when it was on the recent dev was the F-35 BOY 402 dispenser, likely gaijin chose not to add it to gain value from the market camo which imo is skummy as hell.
Here was the J35J on the dev with Johan Gul

That makes a lot of sense :)
For sure, this new one is originally a A variant IRL but got given to the E in game.
Thx for info! :)
