You're right.
3 building versions, circa 6 camo versions. And all of this free.
Source is Zio's model, upgrades and camo from my "hell's kitchen" (I'm listening Black Sabbath now when I'm drawing, so who knows who lead my hand ... )
But I have to make new category in my catalogue ...

Big thanks Gerry for your generosity.

I think the Avia B-534 is one of the most elegant biplanes
of all times.
Are you going to design a cockpit for it?

[Gerry1966]

First part of Christmas gift is ready. 3 pre-war Czechoslovak planes. Next will be war colors.
chicharrero: Yes, simple cockpit is there, too...

Making the illusion of a sagging canvas is sometimes difficult, but the result can be very gratifying. I think the work is worth it.

Awesome recolors and mods! Can't wait to get!

I finished the other two Avia B-534, this time war machines. For this moment, I do not plan any more, because shading and imitation of sagging canvas is quite exhausting :-).
I will upload all 5 versions this weekend (and notice it here). You will find the link in my catalog again then.
The new versions are:
- Avia B-534 (Slovenské vzdušné zbrane, 12. letka, stot.let. Vladimír Kačka, Vinnica, Ukraine, summer 1941)
- Avia B-534 (Slovenské povstalecké letectvo, zvk. František Cyprich, Tri Duby, September 1944)

All 5 Avias are published.

New Year is here and it's time to start production in our aircraft factories again :-D.
My first contribution of this year is the German attack and anti-tank aircraft Henschel Hs-129. The model I used is one of Bruno's oldest constructions. So I had to upgrade more than ever, including a new undercarriage, and other details. I also added some parts to the model as an alternative for experienced modellers (eg plastic embossments for firing gun channels etc.). The original model was version B-1, I reworked it to the most widely used and powerful version of the B-2. Then I added to the model fuselage additional weapons - 30 mm cannon for the set R2, 4 pieces of 50 kg bombs for the set R4 and, of course, a huge 75 mm cannon for the "nutcracker" B-3.
Now what versions are ready:
- Henschel Hs-129B-2 (Luftwaffe, Stab/SchG1, Stalingrad area, autumn/winter 1942)
- Henschel Hs-129 B-2/R2 (Luftwaffe, 8/SchG1, Oblt. Rudolf-Heinz Ruffer, Orel-West AB, Kursk battle, August 1943)
- Henschel Hs-129 B-3 (Luftwaffe, Stab 4.(Pz)/SG9, Mjr. Bruno Meyer, Russia, winter 1944-45)
- Henschel Hs-129 B-2/R4 (Forțele Aeriene Regale ale României, 60. Asalt Escadrila, Grupul 8 Asalt, Lt. Lazär Munteanu, Chaplinka AB, Rossia, October 1943)
- Henschel Hs-129 B-2/R4 (Forțele Aeriene Regale ale României, Grupul 8 Asalt/Picaj, Miskolc AB, liberation of Slovakia, December 1944)
