Description

On 31 July 1915, before Germany and Italy had declared war, a set of Pfalz A-class aircraft were used to bomb Italian positions in the Alps.  Each plane was armed with two wooden boxes on each fuselage side, each containing five 10kg Carbonit bombs.  On 3 June, clandestine bombing raids were run against Cortina d’Ampezzo, and Austrian colors of red and white were used on the plane fuselages and the undersides of the wings so that the planes would be mistaken as Austro-Hungarian.  This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Pfalz A.I P.23, as flown by Leutnant Ferdinand März of Feldflieger-Abteilung 9b.

The Pfalz A.I was a license-produced copy of the Morane-Saulnier Type L.

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 on this page.
