The Eduard SS810 photo-etched set is designed for the plastic model Eduard S-199 bubble canopy Weekend in 1/72 scale. This dedicated accessory allows for highly precise detailing and enhances the realism of the replica of the famous post-war S-199 fighter, also known as the “Mezek.” S-199 aircraft were produced in Czechoslovakia just after the end of World War II based on Messerschmitt Bf 109G documentation, with their main operator being the Israeli Air Force during the War of Independence in 1948. These aircraft played a vital role in the first days of the State of Israel and became firmly embedded in the history of Middle Eastern aviation.
