Homebee Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Kovozávody Prostějov (KP) is to re-release 1/72nd Marcel Bloch/Aero MB.200 kits Source: https://www.modelarovo.cz/marcel-bloch-aero-mb-200-1-72-kp-kovozavody-prostejov/ Quote "Petr Muzikant, KP/AZ New for November One of the many novelties for November is the re-inclusion of the MB-200 model in 1/72 scale into the KP production program. The original model (forms) of the Aero MB-200 has undergone several changes over time. It was supplemented by differential parts for the original French version with different armament, engines and a modified bow of the fuselage. Clear parts have also undergone many changes. Now we have decided to return this original KP model in a new form to the offer program. Parts from new molds will be on sale for both versions, ie for the Aero MB-200 and Bloch Mb-200. After the molds have been revised, the moldings are made of medium-gray-blue plastic and the parts are nice and clean, apart from a few sprays. The action drawings by our favorite boxer painter Carlos Alonso will definitely please. A big duel with Emily… I wish “frantík” and our Aero would fight like this…. Unseen markings and camouflage schemes (will be in the next info) will surely please fans of these bombers. Both new kits will be on sale at the end of November." Box art V.P.

593jones Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 That looks interesting, I do have a soft spot for these French aircraft, they always make me think they were designed by Jules Verne on a bad day! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Mikolajski Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 @Homebee, plastic is from old KP kit. It seems AZ Model refreshed moulds and added some new parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is AZ Models mentioned? I read it as KP has updated the old KP molds. Everything looks just like the original. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Aero MB-200, I don't know if there is a difference with MB-200, in wikipedia the difference seem on inner parts. In the pics of KP the engine covers seem different.

Manuel I have the old KP Aero MB.200, too. I was just wondering where the AZ Models reference came from? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I think it's just the trademark for KP/AZ it's the same firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Model is the owner of both: KP brand and moulds of kits released by old Kovozavody Prostejov. You can also add the Admiral brand to this list.

MarkoZG Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 This parts upgrade has been done many years ago, when a short-lived Hungarian company KP Models took over all former Kovozavody Prostejov (KP) molds and was selling these kits in their own boxes and with much better decals. I don't see anything new added to the sprues now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wm Blecky Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I just came across this post. For anyone who has this kit and is looking to spruce it up, MH models offers a masking set and several aftermarket sets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
