The Italeri 2664 JAS-39D Gripen Twin Seater is a high-quality 1/48 scale assembly kit, designed for enthusiasts of modern military aviation. This model represents a contemporary twin-seat multirole fighter in the combat trainer version, developed by the Swedish company SAAB. The JAS-39D Gripen, with the letters JAS standing for Jakt (fighter), Attack, and Spaning (reconnaissance), replaced earlier generations of Swedish aircraft and has formed the backbone of several air forces since the 1990s.

The JAS-39D fighter has been operated since the early 21st century by the air forces of Sweden, the Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa, Thailand, and Brazil. The two-seat version is primarily used for pilot training and during operational missions, especially where the presence of a second systems operator increases safety and effectiveness. The aircraft has participated in NATO operations such as Baltic Air Policing and a variety of allied maneuvers and exercises (period: modern times, from the 1990s to the present day).
