RS Models – 92260 – Aero A-101

Description:

Aero A-101
Czechoslovak bomber aircraft

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a Czechoslovak Aero A.101 light bomber biplane aircraft of the mid 30s.

The type was an improve of the Aero A.100 predecessor, but despite of being fitted with a more powerful engine its performance was inferior and  Czechoslovak air forces were not interested in the type.

Spanish Republican air forces ordered 50 aircrafts of the type during the Spanish Civil war, where the type saw action with both sides, since part of the delivery was caught by Nationalist side. The poor performance of the type relegated it to a secondary role.

Kit includes PE parts and decal sheet with 5 markings, 2 Czechoslovak and 3 for the Spanish Civil War, one Republican and two Nationalist.
