Rumpler C.I - 1917

[Dick]

Hello all PM's
As I wrote in the building it is now two-seater reconnaissance-bomber a German biplane Rumpler C.I
Polish Air Force had more that 80 pcs of these aircraft - different version. All were won by Polish Army in 1918.
Most of them were in poor condition and after repairs used as a training planes without armament. Several served to the recon - squadrons during the Polish-Bolshevik war in 1920.
Some aircrafts carrying the red and white shield marking (called "warsaw shields") wich were used prior to the familiar red and white checkenboard design.
My Rumpler C.I No. "10" was used in the Pilots School in Mokotov (*Warsaw).in the period 1918 - 1920.
Model will be valorised and I add differnet details etc.
Best Regards,
Dick
