KP 1/72nd Avia B.H.-11 Boska completed

How refreshing and pleasing is to see manufacturers releasing civil subjects, and more so when they are significant, appealing and colorful.
 Congratulations to KP for this little nice kit with multiple livery options and a good level of detail.
The step-by-step build and review can be seen here:
This is a very charming subject that you can build from a good kit, and that just made me order another one.
The kit needs attention in a couple places (read the build posting on the link above) but otherwise builds well.
I liked the lines so much that I scratched its somewhat different predecessor, the Avia B.H. Exp:

 Here they are side-by-side, although in real life they never were:



 Here they are portrayed as attendants of the Volkania FlugFest, and we can see in the background the Volkania official music band, the Wütende Krakens:
(After seen this post, Sönke Schulz, ruler of Volkania, sent this link to a youtube video of the band, this time interpreting the "Astronautenmarsch":

Thanks, Sönke!

This is a small model that provides BIG fun. Once again kudos to KP.
Here we can see Sönke and Helga about to embark on one of their romantic flying adventures. Argentina, here we go!:
