Jeannin Stahltaube 1/33

Having some days free of commitments, I threw myself to realize a project that I had in mind for some time, the Jeannin Stahltaube in scale 1/33..

Completion of three-dimensional model 95%
Completion of assembly drawings 80%

....however, I could not wait to start coloring!!

The plane on which fell my choice is the serial number A.271/14, with Argus AS.II engine.

But, in the program, I will also do other planes, even with the Daimler Mercedes D.I engine.

Soon, matt77

Very impresive...and unusual.

A beautiful and historic aircraft (with more than its share of complex rigging).

Yes, "wing warping" aircraft flight control did produce a vast amount
of interesting rigging.

At the beginning of the war,
this was the only "pret a porter" solution for the Germans.

These aircraft have been quickly replaced by Eindecker family,
who were armed by synchronized machine guns.

....then the Germans began to copy the French planes.
