HPH Models have released two 1/32nd scale aircraft, the Letov S-328 and a LF-107 Luňák.
Letov S-328
The Letov S-328 evolved from the experimental S-28 of 1929 and the S-228 of 1931, the S-328 had been designed to meet a Finnish requirement, although, in the event, no Finnish order for the type materialised. However, the Czechoslovak Ministry of National Defence became interested in the type, and, in 1934, the S-328 had been ordered into production as the Czechoslovak Air Force's standard reconnaissance aircraft. Armament normally comprised two fixed forward-firing 7,92-mm machine guns in the wings and a pair of similar weapons on a swivelling Skoda mounting in the observer's cockpit, and racks could be attached beneath the fuselage and lower wings for up to 1,000 lb (500 kg) of bombs.

LF-107 Luňák
The LF-107 Luňák is a Czech aerobatic glider designed by Rudý Letov in the late 1940s. The design was developed within a prolific group of aeronautical engineers and sailplane pilots including K. Dlouhý, J. Matejcekm, and B. Bocek.
The first flight of the prototype took place on June 25, 1948 and a second prototype flew in July. The prototype participated later in the same year in an aerobatic competition in Grenchen, Switzerland, and in Ziar, Poland in 1949, where its good aerobatic and gliding characteristics drew considerable attention.
Unfortunately the serial production was disrupted by geopolitical developments, as the factory was charged with production of MiG-15, MiG-19 and MiG-21F aircraft and the access to Western civil export markets was progressively hampered by the emergence of the Iron Curtain. Therefore, only 75 examples of the Luňák were produced in all.
The model
Scale - 1/32nd
Code - 32031R
