1:144 Paul Schmitt 7
This is a 1:144 scale model of a French Paul Schmitt 7 bomber. 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 Paul Schmitt 7 two-seat bomber was probably a decent design in 1915 when its predecessor (the S.B.R) was first tested, but production delays prevented the PS7 from reaching frontline units until April 1917, by which time it was slow and obsolete. Nevertheless, about 150 were built, and they equipped four escadrilles until they could be replaced by Breguet 14's, Sopwith Strutters, or Voisin 8's; the last in January 1918. Furthermore, the wide wingspan of the PS7 made it difficult to escort in bomber formations.
In an unusual design feature, spruce struts alternate with metal struts.
