Here's some pictures
of my 1/48 Italeri JAS 39C Gripen which has been in service with the Czech Air
Force since last year. The machine queues in the 4th generation of combat
aircraft. The airframe of this type of aircraft provides very good flight
characteristics (for example very short curving) triangular wings with canard
flats in front. Both of these flats are synchronized by computer and the
general control of all four wings is controlled by fly by wire.

The Italeri kit
represents first version JAS 39A. If you want to get C version, you must
make some changes to this kit. For example exhaust, antennas,
undercarriage, wheels, flaps, cockpit...
At this time is the Best Choice for a JAS 39C in 1/48 is from the Czech
manufacturer MPM. In the box you get the same JAS 39A kit from Italeri
with many superb upgrades in resin parts.
