Description
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Pfalz E.IV. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The Pfalz monoplanes were license-built copies and variants of the Morane-Saulnier G/H or Type L, armed with a synchronized IMG-08 machine gun (or two, in the case of the E.IV). While similar to the Fokker Eindeckers, they were not well-appreciated, in no small part because they appeared several months after the Fokkers. Pfalz aeroplanes tended to be assigned to Bavarian pilots, and they made due until better planes came along. The Pfalz E.IV was the Pfalz equivalent of the Fokker E.IV, with twin Spandau machine guns and a twin-row Oberursel U.III rotary engine. The engine had cooling problems and was less reliable than its single-row predecessors. About 46 were built.
The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.
