Iconic WWI Biplanes: S.E.5a and Albatros D.III in 1/72 Scale

The Italeri 1374S model kit brings to life two of the most renowned biplanes from World War I: the British S.E.5a and the German Albatros D.III. These aircraft were pivotal during the dogfights over the Western Front in 1917. The Albatros D.III, flown by aces like Manfred von Richthofen, known as the "Red Baron," was a formidable adversary, capable of reaching speeds up to 175 km/h and equipped with twin Spandau machine guns. Its counterpart, the S.E.5a, though less famous than the Sopwith Camel, was crucial to the British Royal Flying Corps, offering superior speed and armed with both Vickers and Lewis machine guns.
