Roden 055 Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI 1/72

Roden 055 Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI 1/72 is a unique plastic model kit designed for demanding modelers, aviation history enthusiasts, and collectors of unique World War I aircraft. The model depicts the German strategic bomber Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI, one of the largest aircraft used during the Great War.

The original Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI machines were designed and manufactured in Germany. They were in service between 1917 and 1919. Their remarkable size and payload capacity (up to 2000 kg of bombs) meant they played an important role during raids on targets in Great Britain and France. These were among the first aircraft in aviation history adapted for long-range bombing missions, and their powerful four-engine designs commanded respect from both the Allies and their own crews. The Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI bomber became a symbol of German strategic aviation in World War I.
