Model making meets aviation history
Why fascinating airplanes of the First World War
The First World War marked the beginning of modern air combat and fundamentally revolutionized the warfare. In just four years, primitive enlighteners developed into highly specialized fighter aircraft with abandoned armament and aerodynamics. This rapid technical evolution makes WWI aircraft a particularly attractive model building projects.
Characteristic features of the era
The planes of this time were characterized by their striking wooden canvas construction, coupled with innovative design solutions such as double-decker configurations or the revolutionary triple design. Rotation engines, clamping wire tension and manual details shape the appearance of these pioneering machines.
Model construction special features of the WWI aircraft
These kits offer unique challenges and rewards. The complex tension with fine wires, the replica of the fabric covering through structured surfaces and the historically correct color schemes of different air forces require precision and patience. At the same time, the manageable dimensions also enable beginners to build successful construction.
Historical authenticity in detail
Each kit is based on extensive historical research and original plans. From the characteristic bare crosses of the German air forces to the colorful season badges of the Allied hunting relays - the Dekalbogen enable the authentic representation of famous machines and their pilots.
The combination of technical demands, historical importance and aesthetic elegance makes WWI aircraft models into timeless classics of model construction, which fascinate both history-interested and technology-loving people alike.
