Azur A095 Koolhoven FK-58C1 "HS Engine" 1/72 – Plastic model kit

The Azur A095 Koolhoven FK-58C1 "HS Engine" in 1:72 scale is a faithful miniature of the rare Dutch fighter aircraft, designed by Frits Koolhoven for the French Air Force just before the outbreak of World War II. This plastic model kit is an exceptional offering for aviation enthusiasts and collectors seeking uncommon subjects among aircraft from the early years of the 1939–1945 conflict.

The Koolhoven FK-58C1 is a single-engine fighter developed to meet a French order made in 1938, when France was searching for modern aircraft designs. The aircraft was built in the Netherlands, but most units were delivered to the Armée de l’Air and saw combat during the French campaign in May and June 1940. The FK-58 was relatively rare, and its history is an interesting episode of collaboration between aviation industries on the eve of World War II.

The Azur A095 model has been designed to replicate the distinctive features of the version powered by the Hispano-Suiza engine (hence the name “HS Engine”). The kit is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring precise surface details and realistic reproduction of panels and operational components. The included clear parts allow for the assembly of the cockpit, and the decals enable application of authentic markings used by French air units in the late 1930s and the early months of the war.
