Due to the lack of original Daimler-Benz engines, the Czechs used the less efficient Junkers Jumo 211 engine, which resulted in decreased performance, but allowed for domestic production of fighters. The Avia S-199 was used by the Czechoslovak Air Force in the early post-war period, and also by the air force of the newly formed State of Israel during the War of Independence in 1948, where it played a significant role in the first aerial combats. The characteristic \"bubble\" canopy significantly improved pilot visibility.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Eduard 7471 Avia S-199 bubble canopy model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/72\u003c\/strong\u003e – excellent proportions, an ideal model both for collections and historical dioramas\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOriginal user countries: \u003cstrong\u003eCzechoslovakia, Israel\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: \u003cstrong\u003ePost-war period, 1947–1949, Israeli War of Independence\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality \u003cstrong\u003eplastic\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe kit \u003cstrong\u003edoes not include\u003c\/strong\u003e photo-etched parts, resin components, or painting masks\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e4 marking options \u003cstrong\u003eas accurate Eduard decals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlastic parts – precisely molded, ensuring a good fit and fine detailing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct advantages and recommended users\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eEduard 7471 Avia S-199 bubble canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \"weekend edition\" kit – recommended especially for intermediate modelers (difficulty level 2\/5).
