Now that my informal “Naval Aircraft Month” is over, time to get back to the normal work of restoring full-color miniatures to availability.
Luft-Verkehrs Gesellschaft m.b.H. (L.V.G.) produced aircraft throughout the war, including the excellent L.V.G. C.V of 1917. The LVG C.VI was a refinement of that aircraft, using the same Benz Bz.IV engine. Servicing was simplified and the view from the cockpit was improved. It was found to be an excellent two-seater, and roughly 1,000 were produced. 400 were in service in August 1918. By the end of the war, it was on track to become the most common German two-seater.
Three full-color 1:144 miniatures and one paintable miniature are now available for the L.V.G. C.VI at Great War Planes by Reduced Aircraft Factory.
