Avia S-199 je posleratni proizvod Češke avioindustrije na bazi Meseršmita 109 koji je proizvela Češka firma Avia tokom Nemačke okupacija u WW2. Nakon rata nedostatak motora ih je primorao da koriste motor Junkers Jumo 211F, predviđen za upotrebu na bombarderima dajući ovom konceptu donekle razočaravajuće performanse.
Izrael je kupio 25 komada S-199 1947. godine, ugovor je podrazumevao nove avione, rezervne delove i kompletnu obuku zemaljskog i pilotskog osoblja. Avioni su stigli na početku Arapsko-izraelskog rata 1948. godine. Avion je postao poznat po problemima sa motorom, čestim zaglavljivanjem topova, pa čak i slučajevima kada su mitraljezi zbog pogrešne sinhronizacije uništavali propeler aviona.
Uprkos problemima, pokazao se uspešnim u ranim danima rata, ne toliko zbog svog kvaliteta jer je bio dosta inferiorniji od originalnog Me 109 niti u činjenici da oborio veliki broj neprijateljskih aviona već pre svega u činjenici da je bio dostupan gde i kada je to bilo potrebno !

Najnoviji , dugo najavljivani proizvod češkog proizvođača Eduard razmeri 1/48 konačno je izašao na tržište.... Praktično još uvek vruća od prese pojavila se premijerno na takmičenju " Plastikova zima" krajem prošle 2025 godine .... Uz pomoć sjajnih drugara maketara iz maketarskog kluba Ikar uspeo sam da nabavim jedan od prvih primeraka i čim sam je dobio bacio sam se na posao !
Standardno visok kvalitet proizvodnje uz konstantnu inovaciju dizajna , rasklopa i pojednostaljivanju sastavljanja vidi se i na ovoj maketi. Novost je oznaka Hybrid jer pravi kombinaciju: plastike i 3D delova uz odsustvo ecovanog seta.
3D printani delovi obezbeđuju većinu delova enterijera kokpita, kutije stajnog trapa, auspuhe te nešto sitnijih detalja antena i naoružanja.

The Avia S-199 is a post-war product of the Czech aircraft industry based on the Messerchmitt 109 produced by the Czech firm Avia during WW2, After the war the lack of engines forced them to use the Junkers Jumo 211F engine, intended for use on bombers, giving this concept somewhat disappointing performance.
Israel purchased 25 S-199s in 1947, the contract included new aircraft, spare parts and full training of ground and pilot personnel. The planes arrived at the beginning of the Arab-Israeli war in 1948. The plane became notorious for engine problems, frequent gun jams, and even cases where mis-synchronized machine guns destroyed the plane's propeller.
However, despite its problems, it proved to be successful in the early days of the war, not so much because of its quality as it was much inferior to the original Me 109, nor in the fact that it shot down a large number of enemy aircraft, but above all in the fact that it was available where and when it was needed !
The kit
Long time announced product of the Czech manufacturer Eduard in the 1/48 scale has finally hit the market.... Practically still hot off the press, it premiered at the "Plastikova zima " competition at the end of last year 2025.... With the help of my great model maker friends from the model maker club Ikar, I managed to get one of the first examples and as soon as I got it, I got to work!
Standard high quality of production with constant innovation of design and assembly can be seen in this kit as well. The novelty is the label Hybrid because it makes a combination of: plastic and 3D parts with the absence of an PE set. 3D printed parts provide most of the interior parts of the cockpit, the landing gear box, the exhaust, and some smaller details of the antennas and weapons.
