Because the construction of the Avia BH-9 was ultimately more demanding than originally expected, I abandoned the intention to build the BH-9 and BH-11 at the same time and suspended the construction of this Avia until the completion of the Avia BH-9 model. Now the Avia BH-9 is complete, so I return to this model and will work to complete it.

To Kyle DeHart:
Thank you for your interest!
To Alec K:
Welcome Alec, nice to see you again. Although there will be some modifications to the Avia BH-11 (otherwise I can't even build my models 🙂), but compared to the Avia BH-9, there will be slightly less modifications. This Avia will be a completely normal serial machine. So I don't have to make special equipment and new wings 🙂

I continue to build the model. I finished the wings and new tail surfaces.

Well, at least this time you did not have to build the wings from scratch 😉

Exactly. I have the original finished wings left from the construction of the BH-9 model. Now I will use them for this model and I have less work to do.

Little progress in construction - the fuselage and wings are ready for camouflage spraying.

Camouflage paints are sprayed. Now I have the production of the engine, landing gear and small parts on the surface of the aircraft.

As always, new information will appear when it is too late. Only after finishing the coloring did I find out that the color scheme of the Bk.11.17 machine is fictional and does not correspond to any real machine. That's why I decided to change the color. The new color scheme corresponds to the actual aircraft with number B.11.3

I started working on the engine. The engine is completely exposed and clearly visible on this machine. At 1:48 scale, the engine is really small and its installation with all the little things requires a lot of patience and time.

Work on the engine continues. I gradually add small details to the engine.¨

The engine is almost complete. Only the exhaust pipe is missing. But I'll stick it when the engine is mounted on the fuselage. Now the exhausts would just interfere and I would probably break them when mounting the engine on the fuselage.

A small shift in the work on the model. I have started making parts for the landing gear and wing mounts.

Very nice progress. The engine looks great, and I like your technique for the tail skid 👍

My tail skid production technique came about because I am comfortable. Therefore, I was looking for a simple and quick method for making it. 😄

I'm making slow progress. I've glued the engine to the nose and added leather backrests to both cockpits.

Very impressed with your skills to cut and carve, and re- construct 👍

Bruce, thank you for your admiration. But it's not as hard as it looks. It just takes a little thought and skill... and a little courage to do things differently. 🙂

I made a simple jig out of cardboard to make it easier to glue the wings to the fuselage. The jig got the wings in the right position so I could concentrate on the work itself.
Now the model is almost assembled. All that is left to finish is the landing gear and a few details.

In the words of a classic - Commedia finita. Avia BH-11 is ready. 🙂
More photos of the finished model soon in a separate album.

Thank you for your kind words 🙂
The album with the finished model is already created and you can find it here: Avia BH-11, czechoslovak airforce | Album by KLuK (1:48)

Album info
I originally started building this model together with the Avia BH-9. However, because the construction of the BH-9 gradually became a demanding reconstruction, I decided to build each aircraft separately.
Some photographs from the beginning of the construction still capture the process from the period of joint construction of both models.
