1:144 A.E.G. G.III
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of an A.E.G. G.III. 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.
A.E.G.'s most famous planes were their twin-engine bombers, starting with the G.I of Spring 1915. The AEG G.III started deliveries in May 1916. It was the first A.E.G. bomber with balanced control surfaces which were easier on the pilot. Forty-five were built until they were replaced with the G.IV. They saw continued use until at least early summer 1917. While one prototype borrowed the triple-rudder from some G.IIs, all of the production aircraft were built with a single rudder. As was true with all twin-engined aeroplanes that used the geared Mercedes D.IV engine, the G.III suffered from engine crankshaft failures, though to a lesser extent than single-engine C-class two-seaters.
