This is a 1:144 scale model of an unarmed Austro-Hungarian Lohner B.VII. An armed version is also available. 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 last of Lohner's Pfeilflieger (arrow flyer) designs, with their characteristic sweptback wings, was the Lohner B.VII of 1915. Twenty-four were delivered by Lohner as the Series 17 or Type J and an additional twenty-four were delivered by UFAG. The first of them were delivered in August 1915 and it was used for both observation and bombing. It was the first of the Lohner B-class aircraft with good performance at altitude, though the reliability of the 150hp Daimler was spotty.

Sixteen of the Series 17.3 aircraft were built with the improved 160hp Daimler engine, with deliveries beginning in December 1915. Despite the "B" classification, nine Series 17 machines were rebuilt with the 160hp Daimler and an observers gun on a pivot mount as the Series 17.8. The first 17.8 machine arrived at the front in February 1916.

UFAG built twenty-four Lohner B.VII(U) using the 150hp Daimler (MAG) engines, but the engines were so unreliable the plane was withdrawn from the front lines and used only for training.

Lohner B.VIIs served until they could be replaced by the ubiquitous Brandenburg C.I.
