1/350th Albatros C.I

Germany's most famous World War I aviator, Manfred von Richthofen, began his career as an observer in the C.I on the Eastern Front. The Albatros C.I was the first of the successful C-series of two-seat general-purpose biplanes built by Albatros Flugzeugwerke during World War I. Based on the unarmed Albatros B.II, the C.I reversed the pilot and observer seating so that the observer occupied the rear cockpit which was fitted with a ring-mounted 7.92 mm (.312 in) Parabellum MG14 machine gun.
