1:144 A.E.G. C.IV
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of an A.E.G. C.IV. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The robust A.E.G. C.IV first reached units in October 1916. With its all-steel welded tube fuselage and wings (other than the ribs), it quickly gained a reputation for toughness. It never achieved the popularity of other German two-seaters of the era, but it was a solid and reliable performer, and it became the basis for the A.E.G. N.I night bomber and the A.E.G. J.I and J.II attack aircraft. In addition to traditional reconnaissance roles, the C.IV was also used for light bombing. Almost seven hundred were built, including three hundred by the Fokker factory, who shared expertise in welded-steel frames. Most of the Fokker deliveries happened in the latter half of 1917 and they were used as trainers.
C.IVs were used on the Western Front, in Italy, in Macedonia. According to one author, both Bulgarian and Ottoman pilots flew the C.IV (in addition to German crews).
