Also, we eventually want to expand the under-represented jet era models, notably Soviet aircraft.
There are plans to add Swedish and Australian aircraft at some point but the priorities will likely shift towards gameplay features.

In the next update we'll complete the regional power air unit model additions with entries from the Yugoslavian and Romanian Air Forces. A portion of these were sold to the new Israeli state forming that nations first fighter squadron. The models also include the Avia S-99, a Czech Messerschmitt Bf 109 post-war fighter constructed with parts and plans left over from Luftwaffe aircraft production during the war. Some units were in the proto-type stage when the German occupation began, ending further development.
In this release we’ve added a set of historical models representing the Czechoslovak Air Force of the 1930s. The Munich Agreement forced the Czechs to surrender without a fight so we can never know how this force would have fared against the German Luftwaffe. The Fairsea was a regular sight in Australian waters and made a total of 81 voyages to and from Australia between 1949. She was the first passenger ship of the famous Sitmar Line and the first non-British ship employed to carry assisted immigrants from Britain to Australia. Using the large heavy machinery and military industrial factories in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia was able to produce a well respected force in regards to personnel, material and equipment. The Fairsea holds an important place in the memory of many immigrants to Australia during the post World War II period. With no ports or ships, they viewed the air as their sea.
As a small, landlocked nation surrounded by hostile neighbours, Czechoslovakia placed a high priority on developing a modern aviation industry.
