Mark Deliduka Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Keith, those are magnificent! I also built one of those Letov's way back in my distant youth. What a sensational model you made from such a basic kit! Love the PBY as well; so incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF211 Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Thanks Mark. I have no idea why.....but I really like the pre-war Czech aircraft. Was hoping that Eduard would do a 1/48 Avia B.21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Filippone Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Keith, Check ( no pun intended) out ViZi Models in the Czech Republic.They are doing pre-war Czech aircraft in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scale. They are 3D printed resin and are very nice. They are friendly and easy to do business with. Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Keith, You are the only person I've ever encountered that had this interest. I have this book (see photos) that covers most if not all, between the war Czech A/C. No photos, but line drawings and data tables. Unfortunately for many, it's in Czechoslovakian. It's hardbound and 361 pages. If you want it, you can have it. I'll send it Priority Mail, which will cost around $10. Don't bother paying for it, unless you are at San Marino, in which case you can buy buy my a "pivo", beer in Czechoslovakian. Just PM me your address. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Filippone Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 In addition, I recommend (and you would need to seek these out on EBay) “Aircam #30- Czech Aircraft 1918-1970” (English text, lots of photos and many colour profiles) and “ Czechoslovak Prototypes 1938”by Patel Kucera. Two volumes. Czech and English text- photos, 3- views and colour 3-views. Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
