Robert PodkońskiMe neither until I have bought this kit 😄 What is more the very plane depicted had been used many years after the war, as far as I remember.

Ludvík KružíkHi, Robert,
I somehow missed this model of yours. I see you've fallen under the spell of the old Avia aircraft of Benes and Hajn's design.
The licensed Swiss Avia looks very nice in your design. 👍

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Ludviku! I love them, indeed - I am tempted now to purchase and assembly this recent offering from Kovozavody:

Ludvík KružíkGreat choice! As a Czech, I was of course delighted. Avia BH.3 is a nice and interesting aircraft. Only it was "born" too early, the knowledge of aerodynamics of monoplanes was not yet at the proper level and also pilots were not used to such fast and control sensitive machines.
Don't expect any big show with this kit. I assume that the box will contain mouldings from the original (maybe slightly repaired) moulds. The only thing the models have improved significantly since KP are the decals. But with some extra work, a nice model can be built from this kit.
Unfortunately, a 1/48th scale kit of this kit does not currently exist, so I built it as a scratch build.

Robert PodkońskiThank you, Ludviku, for all the info (I have already learned not to expect too much from Kovozavody kits... 😉
I also love your models presented here - all of them! I am really impressed with your skills and perseverance.

Ludvík KružíkThank you for the compliment, Robert. My abilities lie in my years of experience in building models and especially in my great patience in building them. And watching you build your models, I can see that you don't lack those skills either.
I'm looking forward to your other great models. 😉
