Plastic kit of the two-seat Me 262 B-1a in 1:48 scale — postwar Avia derived its CS-92 trainer directly from this type. The parts are unassembled and unpainted.
Responsibility details are not available.
The B-1a version was created as a training counterpart to the first jet fighter to enter series service. The stretched cockpit fit an instructor with his own set of instruments behind the student, and the aircraft retained its cannon armament, so it could still take part in combat. After the fighting stopped in 1945, unfinished airframes and stocks of parts remained at Letnany, from which Avia assembled its own series. Czechoslovakia thereby became the only country to build and operate this type after the war.
The single-seat examples received the domestic designation S-92, and the two-seat trainers CS-92. The first aircraft flew in 1946; the whole series numbered only a handful of aircraft, and its main task was converting pilots to jet technology. Operations were complicated by the short service life of the Junkers Jumo 004 engines, yet the aircraft remained in active service into the early 1950s, when Soviet-designed types replaced them. A surviving example can be seen today at the Aviation Museum in Kbely.
Before joining the fuselage halves, dry-fit the cockpit tub – on the two-seat version the interior is clearly visible through the extensive glazing. The seams on the engine nacelles deserve patient sanding, and it pays to mask the canopy glazing before spraying.
