Title: Rumpler C.I Verdun-Front 1916 (Planet Models 1/48)
Post by: Borsos on February 12, 2016, 11:30:41 PM: Hello guys,
I try to post some pics of my 2nd WWI 1/48 scale built. Here I found my large topic for the next years: Aircraft from the battle of Verdun 1916. I started the Planet Models Rumpler C.I about 1 1/2 years ago and finished it last spring (I took a break to move into our new house...). As far as I can remember it is a great kit without any serious problems.
I scratchbuilt the interior according to the little information in the Windsock Datafile (as far as I could see there was no instrument panel in the Rumpler C.I; now I have seen the CSM kit that proved me wrong...). I used the kit's landing gear struts which are made out of a stronger plastic-like material, but scratchbuilt the cabane struts and the interplane struts. Machine guns are resin and PE- ones from Karaya. I used the Crew (Fritz and Emil) from an quite unknown Resin manufacturer (which name I sadly can't remember right now), but they are really beautifully sculpted and cast. The rigger is a 3D printed figure (these figures are presented somewhere else on this forum).

I finished the kit as a Rumpler C.I that was brought down intact by the French in spring 1916 during the German offensives; the unit is unknown. There's a photo in Jack Herris' wonderful book "Rumpler aircraft of WWI" on page 52. I've seen a profile where this machine is called a plane from KagOHL 4, but I don't believe that. KagOHL 4 used Roman numbers to name the KagOHL and Arabic numbers to namel the Kastas. And KagOHL 4 consisted of the Kastas 19-24.
Well, I hope you like it - although the resin wings started to sag a little (the rigger is doing his best ...). I'll never use such thin resin wings again...

My thoughts exactly, Borsos! I love it! I built this kit a few years ago and to this date, it's my favorite.
Cheers,
Bud

Post by: Flying Circus on October 23, 2016, 08:13:27 PM: Really a very nice model. Only the mirrored 4 does not reveal itself to me. Why should the Germans bring your numbering mirrored?

It's not on the model, it's the photo. I never noticed that yet...
