This is a 1:144 scale model of a German Rumpler C.IV two-seater. 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.

Cleaning up the Rumpler C.I airframe and installing the excellent Mercedes D.IVa engine resulted in one of the best German reconnaissance aircraft of 1917-1918: the Rumpler C.IV. It was fast -- especially above 15,000 feet where few Entente scouts could match its speed. Its high-efficiency wings made it a superb vehicle for long-range and high altitude photography and reconnaissance. Due to their high-altitude performance, they were difficult to intercept by Entente aircraft.

Early troubles with vibrations and fuselage twisting resulted in the early C.IVs being withdrawn in April 1917 and the fuselage panels were strengthened with plywood, and aerodynamic testing showed that the spinner actually increased drag, so it was eliminated. Early planes used a ring mount for the observer's gun, but later ones used a bar, presumably to save weight. Early models also used a stick for the pilot (including a fairing for the elevator cables on the bottom of the fuselage), but later models used a wheel.
