Mass-produced for training purposes in Germany and other European countries, it was also introduced in France where it became the license-built Nord 1300 version. It was used primarily for glider pilot training as well as a standard training aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s. Its popularity and simple construction made it an icon of interwar and postwar gliding.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eKit Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/48\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: Germany, France, and many other European countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: \u003cstrong\u003eInterwar period, World War II, postwar era\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic (polystyrene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit contents: detailed sprues, clear cockpit canopy, decals with German and French markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdditions: selected paint schemes based on authentic aircraft flying over Western Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Hobby 48203\u003c\/strong\u003e kit is recommended especially for intermediate and advanced modelers, particularly those with a passion for historical aviation.
