Pfalz D.VIII out of the hangar

Following on from Aviattic's much-loved Ansaldo Balilla aircraft and Marienfelde lorry kits (which are now collectors items!) and six years in design and planning, the Pfalz DVIII is out of the hangar and ready for take-off!

Following that proud lineage this kit takes WW1 aviation model-making to the next level, with state-of-the-art 3-D printing, casting methods and Aviattic's attention to detail unsurpassed. I have pulled out all the stops for this one!..

Grab your chance to be among the first, as it's 'first come, first served" to order this strictly limited edition kit. Pre-orders will be fulfilled in the order that they are sold.

So, what's on offer?
