Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0217 Avia S-199 Sakin 1/72 – Plastic Aircraft Model Kit

Discover the exceptional Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0217 Avia S-199 Sakin 1/72 scale plastic model kit, designed for military aviation enthusiasts and historical model collectors. This is a detailed miniature of the Avia S-199 Sakin fighter, which played an extremely important role in the history of Israel as the main fighter aircraft of the Israeli Air Force in the early period of the country.

The Avia S-199 is a fighter aircraft produced in Czechoslovakia after World War II, based on the German Messerschmitt Bf 109G design. Its distinctive Junkers Jumo 211F engine and numerous modifications made it somewhat challenging to fly, but this did not prevent the aircraft from playing a crucial role during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948-1949. These fighters—serving as the first Israeli combat aircraft—became a symbol of the fledgling state's air power and were effective in combat against numerically superior Arab forces.

The Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0217 kit faithfully reproduces the details of the Avia S-199 Sakin, drawing inspiration from historical examples used in Israel. The model is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring durability and precise construction. Inside the box, you will find expertly crafted assembly parts, a richly detailed decal sheet with historic Israeli markings, and a clear, full-color assembly manual. The kit does NOT include glue or paints—these need to be purchased separately, giving every modeler the freedom to match the color scheme to their own preferences and to historical documentation.
