That looks like an interesting type, but I guess there is no kit in 1/48? :(

Cheers,

Nice! I nearly bought a 2nd hand RVHP FB.19 on ebay for more than $70... This one should be priced around $10-12.
KP's rate of releasing WWI kits in 1/72 is amazing - two Albatros C.III's, A Sopwith Cuckoo & Scooter and Four Triplanes in less than two years, and now this.

Cool!  Not my cup of tea, but I'm tickled pink for those fans of the one true scale that have a fondness for this a/c.

Three kits, apparently - an FB.19 Mk.I, F.B.19 Mk.II & a Russian F.B.19 Mk.I.
Release date unknown.

 KP might produce a 1/48th scale version if they saw interest. You can contact the company at [email protected]

Vickers F.B.19 markings.
The kits are marked as "coming soon" on the Kovozavody Prostejov website.
