Paul Schmitt P.S.7 (various scales)

The Paul Schmitt 7 two-seat bomber was probably a decent design in 1915 when its predecessor (the S.B.R) was first tested, but production delays prevented the PS7 from reaching frontline units until April 1917, by which time it was slow and obsolete. Nevertheless, about 150 were built, and they equipped four escadrilles until they could be replaced by Breguet 14's, Sopwith Strutters, or Voisin 8's; the last in January 1918.

In an unusual design feature, spruce struts alternate with metal struts.

This plane comes in 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales.  The 1:285 product has a detachable, translucent propeller disk rather than propeller blades. 

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.
