FIRST GERMAN BIPLANE FIGHTER!
ANOTHER great addition to the 1:48 scale WWI Blue Max series, the Halberstadt D.II was issued in 2005 and contained both injection-moulded and metal pewter parts*. Accurate in outline, the kit is well detailed with a complete engine and some delicate cockpit fittings. Decal sheets provide a choice of 1916 camouflaged examples in the red-brown/green pattern. The kit is in near mint condition with all parts re-bagged and decals reinforced with card backing and protected by waxed tissue-then bagged.

NEAR mint example of the March 2005-dated Blue Max Halberstadt D.II release.This 1:48 scale injection-moulded kit included a number of quality pewter detail parts plus lengths of extruded strut material and rod. The Mercedes engine is in seven mixed parts with cockpit details and full metal jacket Spandau armament. Instruction leaflet features photos of sub-assemblies and the completed prototype model sans rigging.Detailed painting notes are provided for the two decal options-two sheets are included-both being Hannnover-built machines serialled D.813/16 and D.818/16 with appropriate markings.Some light flash is apparent on some plastic and metal parts which can be easily eradicated with light filing by careful modellers..
