Hello my friends! After a absence I'm back...
IVL A.22 Hansa is a Finnish copy of the German Hansa-Brandenburg W.33 maritime patrol floatplane. It was built by Ilmailuvoimien lentokonetehdas (Aircraft Factory of the Air Force, IVL or I.V.L.) from 1922 to 1926. 120 were built: 118 for the Finnish Air Force and two for the Latvian Air Force. It was the first aircraft to be built in series in Finland.
The Hansas were extensively used in the 1920s, being equipped with skis during winter. One of their duties was to hunt for smugglers during the Prohibition era (1919-1932). The type's final flight is presumed to have taken place in an air show on 3 August 1935, although the last aircraft were not removed from FAF inventory until 1936.

The model was repainted by Tigertony100 based on one of Bruno's new models (who has been intensifying his catalogue of 1/100 scale WWI models). 8)
