The old KP 1/72 Avia CS-199 kit no. 11

This is the older release of KP's Avia CS-199 (1/72) that was released in 1978. Not exactly a kit that falls together and a bit more rougher than my recent KP Arado Ar-96 build. I went on to do some upgrades on fit issues, thinning down on [...]

As I haven't had too much time to build any kits lately, I was loosely following the Desert Air War Group and thought I'd add a quick little build using the Hobby Boss Bf 109E-4 Trop in 1/72. I did not have the time to update the progress [...]

Heller’s 1/72 Bf-109K converted to an Avia S-199 “Sakeen”
