Given command of Royal Bavarian Jasta 23 at the beginning of August 1917, Kissenberth would continue his association with the Albatros D series of fighters and in particular, aircraft serial number D2263\/17, a machine in which it is thought he would go on to score the majority of his 20 aerial victories. As his personal aircraft, it was distinctive by virtue of its smart black fuselage and the large yellow and white Edelweiss emblem it sported on either side of the fuselage, just behind the cockpit. Further adding to the fascinating story of this particular Great War Albatros ace, Kissenberth would claim a British RNAS Sopwith Camel for himself, an aircraft that had been forced down intact by another one of his unit™s pilots. Overpainting the aircraft™s British insignia with new, highly visible German markings (for obvious reasons), he apparently flew the aircraft on many occasions and incredibly, used this captured aircraft to score the last of his 20 victories on 16th May 1918, when he used it to bring down a British SE5a fighter near the town of Tilly-Neuville.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's Inside: 1 x Aircraft, 1x Stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm): 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Scale\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e1:48 Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003ePainted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eGreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWingspan (mm)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed Crew Figures\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eYes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine Rigging Detail\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed Undercarriage\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding Wings\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel Tanks\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMovable Sweeping Wings\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving Parts\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving Rear\/Ventral Gun(s)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen\/Closed Airbrake\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening Bomb Bay Doors\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening Canopy\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening Radio Hatch\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Undercarriage Down\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eYes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable Engine Covers\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotatable Propeller(s)\/Rotor(s)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eYes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotatable Turret(s)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliding Door\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStationary Drooping Rotor Blades\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisible Gun Bay\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood Grain Effect Propeller\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviation Photo-etched Aerial(s)\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviation Armament\/Weapons\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003eNo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Corgi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42048011993244,"sku":"AA37811","price":154.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/AA37811_5.jpg?v=1734077385","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/1-48-albatros-d-v-2263-17-otto-kissemberth","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
