The Caudron G.III played a significant role as a reconnaissance and bomber aircraft and – especially in the later years of the war – as a primary training aircraft. Until early 1917, French squadrons used the Caudron for front-line missions, and after the Americans entered the war, this aircraft became the cornerstone of the training program for the newly formed US military aviation.

The kit is perfect for intermediate and advanced modelers — difficulty level: 4/5. It is especially recommended for Great War aviation enthusiasts, collectors of training aircraft, and fans of precision models with rich photo-etched detailing. The included rigging diagram is a major advantage, making realistic finishing of the model much easier.
