Avis is a Ukrainian maker of plastic aircraft model kits, working almost entirely in 1/72 scale with a smaller group of 1/48 kits. The range concentrates on aircraft that are less often seen in kit form: experimental designs, early civil machines, racers and seaplanes, alongside the fighters and reconnaissance types that most modellers expect to find.
Avis kits cover a wide span of aviation history. Typical subjects include the Bf 109, Bristol M.1C, Hawker Cygnet, Henschel Hs 123, Nemeth Parasol, DH.60 Moth, Messerschmitt M-23, Edgley EA-7 Optica and Lavochkin La-200. Among the more specific designations are the Hs123 B-1 and the Nemeth Parasol in 1/48, and the Messerschmitt M-23 in several versions, including the Spanish 1938 aircraft.
- Fighters and interceptors, such as the Bf 109 and Bristol types
- Experimental and racing designs, including the Bristol Type 72 and Bristol Bullfinch
- Civil machines like the DH.60 Gipsy Moth and Hammond aircraft
- Reconnaissance and police aircraft, notably the Edgley EA-7 Optica
If you are looking for the rarer corners of interwar and early postwar aviation, the Avis range is worth a browse.
