Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0134 Orličan VSO-10B Gradient in 1/72 scale is an excellent plastic model designed for aviation scale modeling enthusiasts. The precisely reproduced glider comes from the Czech Republic, and its prototype, the Orličan VSO-10B Gradient, was one of the most popular training and competition gliders from the late Cold War period as well as modern times.

The VSO-10B Gradient is a variant of the upgraded Orličan VSO-10A glider, produced by the Czech company Orličan since the 1970s. The glider served both for training purposes and competitive flying, being used by numerous aero clubs in Czechoslovakia, later in the Czech Republic, and other Central European countries. This aircraft has been operated from the late 1970s up to the present day, earning recognition for its good maneuverability, high performance, and ease of piloting, which made it one of the icons of Czech gliding. The model represents the Gradient version, recognizable for its modern design and excellent flight parameters.
