The forgotten Czechoslovakian fighter-bomber

- During the Second World War, these aircraft from countries such as Germany, USA, Great Britain, USSR and Japan fought the most decisive battles in the skies. But other nations that have been much less heard about have also produced their own planes. For example, Czechoslovakia, if it was known that it designed and produced tanks which were then seized by the Wehrmacht, what about its planes. This is what I invite you to discover by presenting one of the best Czechoslovak aircraft designed during the pre-war period: The Praga E-51.

It was quite under armed compared to the Fokker G-1.
Yes right, it had 8 forward firing FN-Hestal Browning and a 7,92 mm Mauser in its tail!

Idk if it’s the same company, but there is another company called Praga that makes modern racing cars!
Hi, nice to see you back! Yes, it is the same company!
Ok! Tysm!
Brilliant video 👍
Thanks!😀
An intriguing aircraft. After a quick search online, I was able to locate a 1/72 scale model of the Praga E-51 from RS Models. This was a limited edition resin kit from 1998. But your video is more timely than you know. The same source (Scalemates) shows a new kit of the Praga e-51 by Czech company Airmastr (Malý-Strmiska) that is due out anytime now. This is a 3D Printed model. But as far as I can determine, this was never available as a conventional, injection molded kit. I would almost have bet money that Kovozávody Prostějov (KP) would have kitted this one back in the day . . . .
Thanks for sharing! 12th like.
Thanks a lot 😀! And I do confirm that 3D printed models are really starting to remplace the kit models...
I'm not complaining. When I was in grade school, a lot of the older model builders were going through a similar paradigm shift when carving "solid" display / ID Spotter models out of pine or balsa using templates was being overtaken by injection molding. Now I'm understanding their own "mixed feelings."
One advantage of 3D Printing is that conversions and modifications will be easier. Who needs sheet plastic and epoxy putty? Just rewrite the code for the basic model . . . .
Yes indeed it is far easier like this and now, even rewriting the code will be far easier since AI allows to write code lines and this much faster than any human can do!
Thinking more on it, with 3D Printing, a modeler may custom order their kit of ANY subject, in ANY scale, with ANY degree of complexity and detail, to suit their own wants, skill level, and budget.
A novice builder could order a model of their favorite subject at a "Airfix, Circa. 1968" - level of detail and complexity, while an experienced builder could go "all-out" and order their kit with full details and all the trimmings. Presumably, these not-too-distant-future hobbyists could also order their desired decals and paint scheme details from the same source - a one-box kit with everything they want and need.
Since writing code is much less labor and cost intensive than tool and die making, almost ANY subject - no matter HOW esoteric - would be available at any given time. A North American P-51 or a Praga E-51? No fear: even if the sales ratio is 5,000:1, the manufacturer is guaranteed a profit . . . .
@@modelermark172 Yes I agree, by exemple there are a lot of planes that did not pass the drawing board stage which are not proposed by a company, but now with this, everything will be possible to make!
