Avia S-199 Plan

 

Damaged kit canopy during spraying. Several attempts and replacements later it was mostly fixed! Out-of-the-box except for a trimmed prop and a few other details. The only problems were self-made!

Comments welcome.

 I had problems uploading the links/images. Hopefully you'll be able to see them.

OK thanks! Logged in now. I am not sure why these images didn't upload. The others worked by pasting in the Flickr URLs, as the  'Insert images from URL' link didn't work on this site?  

 

And still doesn't?

If you are copying and pasting in Flickr links from their pop up box, you can just paste that directly in, do not use the insert image option.

 

Note using the BB code on Flickr, they will not display initially, you will just get text, when you post they will display.

If unhappy with position or want to adjust the layout, just use the edit facility,  and the images will be visible when you do this.

 

If you paste just the image URL from flickr, note the BB code, then that usually will display immediately.

 

HTH

 

PS following the Flickr links says these are not publicly visible.

Thank you all for your assistance and positive comments. Whilst not the best of the breed, this 'Messerschmitt' was always of interest as a Czech improvised version.  Due to the lack of Daimler-Benz engines they combined the late Bf109G airframe with available Jumo 211F 'bomber' (similar to the He111) engine and large propeller.  This gave rise to handling problems, hence (Wulfman refers) its nickname 'Mule'.  It went on to be used and most widely known for its service in the Israeli AF as an available necessity.

 

I should have mentioned it was finished overall in Xtracolour RLM 02 (lightened), details with Humbrol.  Markings out of the box.  The kit went together nicely, apart

damaging the canopy, which I prised off and replaced with a vacform.  

 

Cheers M3. Comments welcome!
