The Czech Master 4148 JAS 39C Gripen Conversion Set (CMK No. 4148) is a 1:48 scale resin and detail upgrade produced by ![]()
CMK (Czech Master Kits). Released in 2005, the set is designed to backdate or convert the standard Italeri 1:48 Saab JAS-39 Gripen or its reboxes (like Bilek or Tamiya) to the accurate single-seat 'C' configuration.
Key Details & Functionality
- Compatibility: Primarily intended for the Italeri 1/48 single-seat kits, this set refines airframe details and shape inaccuracies found in the base plastic.
- Contents: Typically includes finely cast resin update parts such as improved instrument panels, refined air-brake bays, an in-flight refueling probe, and updated undercarriage/exterior detailing.
- Decal Requirements: While the conversion set provides the resin shapes and detail bits, you will typically need a dedicated decal sheet (e.g., from
TwoBobs Aviation Graphics or
Scalemates) to replicate specific Czech Air Force markings.
