L.V.G. C.V (various scales)

The L.V.G. C.V was one of the great multi-purpose German two-seaters of 1917-1918, along with the D.F.W. C.V and Rumpler C.IV.   Arriving at the front in late summer of 1917, production of this well-liked plane ramped up quickly, and it was soon the second-most common two-seater at the front behind the D.F.W.  It wasn't until mid-1918 when it was supplanted by the L.V.G. C.VI, and post-war they were taken up by Poland, Russian, and the Baltic Republics.  Probably 1250 C.V's were built.

This product comes in several scales.  The 1:285 product comes with two aeroplanes, each with a detachable, translucent propeller disk rather than propeller blades (which are difficult to produce at this scale).  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.  The 1:600 and 1:700 products come with six aeroplanes on a sprue.  You'll have to carefully remove them from the sprue.

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.
