Product Description
WOW036 The last of our Halberstadt aircraft (at least for a while) this time
in a striking red and black colour scheme. The Halberstadt was a 2 seater
aircraft flown by the Luftstreitkrafte during WW1 and was mainly employed in
the ground attack role. It could be fitted with a variety of bombs weighing
up to 50kg and also grenades, hand thrown by the rear gunner! Powered by a
Mercedes engine with a top speed of 103 MPH, the Halberstadt proved to be a
troublesome opponent for the Allies with over 450 being manufactured by the
end of the war. The normal practice was for flights of 4 to 6 aircraft to
fly at a height of around 100 ft ahead of German troops suppressing Allied
forces as they advanced. Towards the end of the war with very little going
on in the way of attacks or advances by the German army, the Halberstadt's
were employed to disrupt Allied ground movement, attack Allied airfields or
used as night time bomber interceptors.
Comes free with GW054A Ground crewman.
This beautiful looking aircraft is limited to 10 pieces worldwide and is
priced at $499/£330 inc VAT
