Pollinger had been with Royal Bavarian Jasta 77b for just over a week when he ran out of fuel and had to land his Pfalz behind British lines. The British then used this aircraft to test its abilities, painting over the German markings with British cockades! The swastika on the fuselage was a symbol of good luck that was used on all sides during World War I.

Wings of The Great War

The Wings of The Great War range presents affordable, ready-made resin models of WWI aircraft. Each model is crafted and painted by hand and features a unique pivoting stand that allows the model to be displayed at a variety of different attitudes.

Wings of The Great War display airplanes feature:

• Molded resin construction with no assembly required.
• Fixed, non-rotating propellers and wheels.
• Poseable presention stand to display the aircraft "in flight".

Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce die-casting molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in diecast metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.
