RS Models 92241 Avia B-135 in 1/72 scale is a precise plastic assembly model representing a rare Czechoslovak fighter aircraft from the late 1930s. This kit allows for a detailed recreation of one of the more interesting yet lesser-known aircraft designs of the interwar period and World War II. It is dedicated to all aviation enthusiasts and collectors interested in the less obvious segments of historical aviation.

Historical description of the Avia B-135 aircraft

The Avia B-135 was a single-engine fighter designed and produced in Czechoslovakia in the second half of the 1930s. The aircraft was a further development of the acclaimed B-534 model, featuring a modern, all-metal fuselage and an enclosed cockpit. Despite positive test results, political constraints and the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Germany halted its series production. Only 12 units were built, most of which were delivered to Bulgaria and used in combat during World War II for escort and air defense missions.
