C-6/Z-181(Bü 181) is one of first short-run injection model kit in 1/72 scale manufactured by MPM company.

I built this C-6 mainly out of box. I added and modified several parts (undercarriage legs, wind shield, exhaust tube etc). I used Agama colours (enamels) for painting.

This Zlin Z-181 (C-6 in Czechoslovak AF type code) was Bücker Bü 181 manufacturing in Czechoslovakia (Zlin aviation factory, Otrokovice) post WWII.

The real C-6 “UA-51“ served as training aircraft in 1st Squadron of Pilot School, Military Air School, Czechoslovak Air Force based at Prostejov airfield in 1946.
