Mirage Hobby 481401 Schusta/Schlasta 27b Halberstadt CL.II + Lozenge decals (1/48)

The plastic model kit Mirage Hobby 481401 Schusta/Schlasta 27b Halberstadt CL.II in 1/48 scale is a high-quality set designed for all aviation modeling enthusiasts and lovers of aviation history from the First World War period. The model represents the German Halberstadt CL.II fighter-attack aircraft, which was one of the most important of its type used by the Imperial German Air Service in the final phase of the Great War.

The Halberstadt CL.II was developed in 1917 and was immediately employed in both direct infantry support and escort missions. The German Schusta and Schlasta (Schutzstaffel and Schlachtstaffel) formations, which operated these aircraft on the Western Front, are particularly well known. The CL.II aircraft were renowned for their sturdy construction, relatively good maneuverability, and effective armament, providing support during offensives on the front lines. The set depicts a machine from Schusta/Schlasta 27b, one of the German assault units.

The Mirage Hobby model stands out for its realistic reproduction of construction details, such as the skeletal fuselage structure, armament systems, and faithfully recreated control surfaces. The set includes original Lozenge decals – the distinctive multicolored "Lozenge" camouflage used by the Luftstreitkräfte in the later years of WWI, ensuring a unique and striking appearance for the finished model.
