Halberstadt C.V (various scales)

The best 1918 German C-Class machines were the Rumpler C.VII and the Halberstadt C.V. Both used the excellent 200hp Benz Bz.IVü engine. The Halberstadt saw first action in June 1918 and about 200 were in use by August, with more coming to the front daily. Total orders for the type probably totaled around 1,500. Flight characteristics, strength, and climb rate were excellent, and the only concern was a tendency to flip over on landing due to the short fuselage.

This model comes in 1:144 and 1:288 scales.  The 1:288 product includes two aeroplanes, each with detachable, translucent propeller disks rather than propeller blades.  They are joined by disposable links to keep the price down, since single-part models are more affordable.  You can break the links with nail clippers, wire cutters, or similar.

DESIGNER NOTE:  Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available.  Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings.  If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.
