The Vickers FB-19 Mk.I “Bullet” was a British single-seat fighter aircraft, designed by Vickers in 1916. An advancement of the earlier FB.9 design, the “Bullet” stood out with its streamlined fuselage, typical of early 20th-century innovative aircraft. It was used primarily by the British Royal Flying Corps (RFC), mainly on the Western Front of World War I between 1916 and 1917. Although it never achieved the popularity of other fighters of the period, it played a role in early air operations and was also used for pilot training and, briefly, by the Russian Empire's air force.

The model from Kovozavody Prostejov is made from high-quality plastic, ensuring precision and ease of processing. The kit includes sprues to build all key components of the aircraft, as well as decals to replicate the historical markings of the British RFC. The kit does not include glue or paints, which allows the modeler full customization and the choice of preferred products for finishing the model.
