This Benes-Mraz Be-550 "BIBI" is vacuformed kit with resin parts manufactured by MH Vacu, Czechoslovakia.
I have made and added several parts (cockpit, exhaust tubes, Venturi tube etc). I also have made all the decals. I have used Agama colours (enamels) for painting.
The real Be-550 two-seater tourist aircraft was built 1937-39 by
Benes–Mraz Aviation factory at Chocen, Czechoslovakia. Benes-Mraz exported several Be-550 (France, Egypt, Great Britain) before the start of WWII. The last flying Be-550
(G-AGSR) was destroyed in fatal crash at White Waltham (GB) 25 October 1951.
