There were also some experimental prototypes made by Germans during ocupation of Czechoslovakia, such as version made for aircraft carrier and version with "bubble" canopy.
Plane was equipped with 4 7.92mm machineguns (Bk-534 was instead equipped with 2 7.92mm machineguns and one 20mm cannon) and could carry 4 25kg or 6 10kg bombs. Production started in 1933 and ended in 1939 after anexation of Czechoslovakia.

45/50
Flight is a little wonky, the yaw axis swings a bit in high maneuvers, but really detailed, especially the ejecting cases, and not many Czech designs out there either which is unique.
Turned out sick
@Shebke díky kámo. Miluju tenhle stroj už od svých čtyř let když jsem ho poprvý viděl u bratra na poličce jako model. Mám ho jako vystřihovánku kterou jsem slepil jako malej a dodneška jí mám na poličce jako vzpomínku. Nádherná nostalgie. Opravdu díky 👍♥️🇨🇿
@NormalCv580enjoyer Tohle by tě mohlo zajímat ;-)
