1/72 Avia Ba.122
This is RS Models 1/72 Avia Ba.122, a 1930s Czechoslovakian aerobatic biplane, a few of which were pressed into military use at the beginning of WW2. The kit's typical short run; some nice detail, some rough parts, vague instructions, lovely resin and a few PE parts. The sunburst on the wings was masked and painted, and the model was rigged with stretched vinyl sprue.

Great job Mike, those bi planes look so small when compared to the other planes around at that time.
Nice pics as well.
Well done Mike.

Looking at the first photo I was thinking 1:32. That is very impressive!

Late-comer I know, but wanted to add my compliments as well. I dream of reaching that level of build and the smoothness and neatness of the paint and markings. The propeller itself is a model on its own!
