60 years ago our fathers took arms and finally raised against german tyranny.

The picture shows a hungarian plane in the background doesn't it?  Is that Slovakian plane made by Avia?

[Kiyouta]

Looks like the first world war to me... :-

Avia B-534, core of the Combined Wing, uprising air force  ;D  Last shot-down made by a doubledeck plane was made by it, when one of our fighters brought down german Ju-52 - same as that one on the picture. We had also few Messerschmitt Bf 109Gs and another pre-war doubledeckers Letov S-328, which were used mostly as light bombers. Later Russians sent a small wing of Lavockin La-5 fighters with czech and slovak pilots.

I've got a model of the S-328 in Slovak markings.

[Caid Ivik]

Me too, but in poor condition. Which one exactly, wasn't it the legendary S-34?

[Dunenewt]

Nope, mine says Letov S-328 on the bottom. It's one you build yourself.

[Caid Ivik]

I ment if it's markings are "S-34" on its sides.

[Colonel_Worf]

Ahhh.... no offense to German people... right?

[Dunenewt]

Nope, mine's S-76.

[Caid Ivik]

Ah, you mean this one. First with renewed markings of Czechoslovak Air Force. But lost already on 31.august during a Luftwaffe attack  :-

Ahhh.... no offense to German people... right?

Wrong, whole uprising was ment to insult many Germans, if you understand me...

[Dunenewt]

My model has floats, not wheels.
