  DUBENA - Notes


1 Avia Mini magazine vol. IV Letter to the editor
"...... a number of [SIKU] models, namely the civil airliners, were re-issued as plastic kits by the Czech firm DUBENA; they were absolutely identical to the original models, down to the letter/numeral code (but of course the Siku logo and the mention 'Made in Germany' were deleted); on a few models though (Caravelle, Lockheed L-1649A) the Siku code itself was deleted; it would appear that Dubena had to provide their own decal sheets, for instance, the TWA livery for the L-1649 instead of the original Lufthansa or Air France, or CSA instead of Aeroflot for the Tu 104.

4 That DUBENA Cesky Dub was (and perhaps still is) a manufacturer of toys can be derived from the websites quoted right and is confirned by various auctions I found in in ebay. http://socikstyle.blogspot.de/2011/06/hracky-cssr-c3dievcenske-hracky-cssr.html
