This aircraft became famous primarily as the first fighter used by the newly formed Israeli Air Force during the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Equipped with a Jumo 211 engine, the Avia S-199 was used mainly for defensive and combat operations in the years 1947–1950 (post-war period, early Cold War).

Contents of the Eduard SS815 set:
