Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Hansa-Brandenburg C.I(Ph) 26.09 of Flik 23.  At Flik 23, 26.09 was flown by Hauptmann Heinrich Kostrba, who scored five of his eight air victories on this early Phönix-built aircraft.  Oberleutnant Johann Frint, with six victories, was his observer on 29 June 1916 when they shot down three Italian aircraft.  This plane is in a natural finish and features a top-wing fuel tank rather than forward-firing gun.  As the war progressed, 160hp-engined C.I’s like this one were relegated to training, in favor of C.I’s with 200-250hp engines.

No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme in the gallery above.
