This unique set allows you to build an accurate replica of an aircraft with a rich combat history, which was a key part of the German Empire’s air force during 1917-1918.

Historical Information and Purpose

The Pfalz D.III was a single-seat fighter produced by Pfalz Flugzeugwerke for the Luftstreitkräfte – the German military aviation service. Entering front-line service in late 1917, the aircraft immediately stood out thanks to its modern design: a skeletal fuselage, rigid structure, and excellent aerodynamics enabled it to undertake daring combat missions, especially in attacks on observation balloons and dogfights against Allied planes such as the SPAD or SE.5a. It took part in numerous aerial offensives until the end of World War I.
