Avia S-199 – history and use

The Avia S-199 was a Czechoslovak post-war version of the German Messerschmitt Bf 109G, produced shortly after World War II, in the years 1947-1949. These aircraft were manufactured in Czechoslovakia from parts left by the Germans after the war and had a significant impact on the early years of building independent air forces in Central Europe. The S-199 was also one of the first fighter aircraft of the Israeli Air Force during the War of Independence in 1948. The aircraft was used both by the Czechoslovak Air Force and the Israeli Air Force – the kit allows you to build models in both versions, emphasizing its collectible and educational uniqueness.
