Один опытный и один серийный самолеты Viima I были построены в 1935 году и представляли собой двухместные учебно-тренировочные машины начальной летной подготовки, которые также могли использоваться в роли связных. Вариант Viima II строился серийно (всего 22) и оснащался звездообразным двигателем Siemens-Halske Sh.14A мощностью 150 л. с. VL Viima IIA имел крыло размахом 10,50 м, максимальную взлетную массу 930 кг и мог развивать скорость 175 км/ч.

One of the more unusual types encountered by John and Patricia during their 1949 visit was Viima II OH-VKJ, named Pirkka. Designed and built by the state aircraft factory, Valtion lentokonetehdas, the type was powered by a 150 h.p. Siemens-Halske Sh14A Bramo seven-cylinder engine. In total, 24 were built, all ultimately seeing service with the Finnish military.
