Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0342 Avia B-3 „Racer“ 1/72 – Plastic model kit

Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0342 Avia B-3 „Racer“ in 1/72 scale is a high-quality plastic fighter aircraft model kit, an excellent choice for enthusiasts of interwar aviation. The model faithfully reproduces the legendary Czechoslovak monoplane fighter Avia BH-3 / B-3, which was the first mass-produced military design from the well-known Avia aircraft factory in Prague. The original plane was used by the Czechoslovak Air Force from 1921 to 1927, initially as a fighter and later for training purposes.

The Avia B-3 „Racer” featured a modern design for its time – unlike most biplane fighters, it was a monoplane, which significantly improved its performance and maneuverability. After successful test flights conducted in June 1921, the Czech military ordered 10 units, which were in service with the armed forces until the mid-1920s. Although the aircraft was somewhat temperamental in operation, it played a significant role in the development of Czechoslovak military aviation and marked a technological breakthrough for the Avia company.
