Does anyone have pics of the Hansa Brandenburg C.1? I have the Sierra scale models kit and am thinking about dusting it off.....

If you can, try to get the book "Color Profiles of World War One Combat Planes by Apostolo & Bignozzi." It is a coffee table sized book and has a chapter on the HB C.I. Nice text and some images with about 8- 10 aircraft.

Hi Jim!

I am not only an enthusiastic modeller, I am also interested in aviation history. Over the years I could build up a small but nice collection of photos, drawings and artefacts of the k.u.k. Fliegertruppe.
For the Hansa Brandenburg C.I. I can provide more than 200 pictures and original drawings.
Please mail me if you would like to get some copies.

There is also a nice datafile from Albatros Productions on the market http://www.windsockdatafilespecials.co.uk/stock.html

best regards
Peter

To give you an Idea about the Hansa Brandenburg C.I, here are some pics of my model that I have built a couple of years ago. This model was made out of the Sierra kit.

Mant thanks,Mr Plattner. You are a fantastic modeller, and I am VERY impressed with your rendition of the wooden sheathed fuselage. I now have inspiration
