Halberstadt CL 11 fighter/Ground attack aircraft.
The Halberstadt was one of the most successful German aircraft of WW1, being extremely manoeuvrable with a good rate of climb and a high rate of speed. The Halberstadt was armed with a forward firing machine gun and a rear firing MG on a ring mount, the rear gun was sometimes fitted with a telescopic site.
Bombs and grenades were often carried by the crew.
Approximately 900 were built and the aircraft saw service from 1917 until the end of the war.
Our first version of the Halberstadt is from Royal Prussian Schlasta 21 as it would have appeared in October 1918. Priced at $499, our Halberstadt also includes GW012B Sentry figure free with this model.
Last but not least, a big thank you to Al Coleman who helped us out with the research for the above model!
ME262 with Air to Air Rockets!
Our latest ME262 was flown by Rudolf Sinner, an ace who scored a total of 39 victories during his wartime career. Thirty of Sinners victories were scored on the Mediterranean front, three victories on the Russian front and the last six being on the Western front.
Sinners last aircraft was the ME262 and it was in this aircraft he scored his last three victories.
The ME262 was one of several aircraft fitted with the W.Gr.21 an experimental air to air rocket, based on the Nelbelwerfer rocket design.
These air to air rockets were designed to take on the USAAF's big bombers which were decimating German industry and cities.
Sinner was known to have flown his ME 262 with the above rockets, although whether he scored any aerial victories using them is unknown.
LUFT 13 mechanic with ladder is included free with our model, which is priced at $599. This ME 262 is a truly beautiful looking aircraft and we have made several improvements since our first Kurt Welter ME 262. Two more ME 262's are planned for next year please note.
As with all our wooden aircraft they are a labour of love with over 60 hours of work going into each one. Each aircraft comes with a full interior and will truly be a unique piece in your collection.
We have only made 8 of the Halberstadt and 10 of the ME 262, please email welcome@tomgunn at your earliest convenience to reserve early in order to avoid disappointment.

Nice, but at $499 US! I will pass............

Works of art. What else needs to be said? TGM are simply making works of art with their aircraft. The choices have all been unusual, mostly unique, and have all been beautifully detailed and finished. I must say, as well, that I find their choices in the biplanes to be inspired. Rumplers, Hannovers, Eindeckers, DH-4's, RE-8's, and the new Halberstadt, what an eclectic collection of aircraft and all just gorgeous. It seems I must certainly have said all this before, but TGM just continues to impress. -- Al

Yesterday I got the chance to see this plane at Sierra. It is gorgeous. The detail and weathering is spectacular, from the wings to the cockpit. It is impossible not to relish the sight of this plane.
Also, on a side note, it was purchased by one of the most knowledgeable collectors I know. As a fellow enthusiast, it is nice knowing that it will be part of an already incomparable collection where it will be appreciated and revered.

How about a seaplane to expand this line, if so I am in. As mentioned in K&C thread, the Arado Ar 196 would be a good choice as Wayne mentioned it was a shipboard reconnaissance low-wing monoplane aircraft built by the German firm of Arado starting in 1936. The next year it was selected as the winner of a design contest and became the standard aircraft of the Kriegsmarine (German navy) throughout World War II.
