Avia B-534 I. Series - Czechoslovak Air Force (RS Models 1/72)


Recommended Posts

Hi, today I would like to share my Avia B-534 in the markings of the plane flown by Captain Jan Pernikar, 44th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Air Regiment, Czechoslovak Air Force, 1936. The plane's serial number is B.534.81. On June 19th 1936, Cpt. Pernikar suffered an accident in this aircraft at Uzhhorod. He later flew Hawker Hurricanes in No. 245 Squadron RAF in 1941, and participated in the Slovak National Uprising in 1944.

 

This was a charming and well-designed little kit that took me about a week to build. It is brush painted and the rigging is EZ Line .003" elastic. Thanks for looking and enjoy the pictures!

Very neat build of this most attractive biplane design!

 

The only remaining B-534 airframe can be admired in the Prague-Kbely air museum in the Czech republic.

 

Looking complete, it is nonetheless a skillful patchwork of original parts contributed from various museums and private enthusisast, with new-built wings and tail surfaces added to a renovated original fuselage as the basis. The beautiful renovation was completed in 1975.

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
