The A-12 served reliably in the Czechoslovak AF for many years and although 94 were built, no original machine has survived. Therefore, this faithful replica of the A-12 was built in the Trenčín Aviation Repair Works between 1980-82 using original documentation and with a Maybach engine and an original Aero propeller. It is on displayat the Letecké Muzeum Kbely in the standard three-color camouflage from the 1920s, with the badge of Letecky pluk 3 (3rd Air Regiment), which operated at Nitra and from 1928 at Piestany.
