Product Description:

Step into aviation history with the M.S. Oldtimer-Models Weisskopf airplane (HMV 103820) — a masterfully hand-drawn card model kit from the legendary M.S. Oldtimer Series by Manfred Schmidt. This exquisite 1:50 scale replica pays tribute to Gustave Whitehead’s pioneering aircraft of 1901, often regarded as one of the earliest powered airplanes to achieve flight.

Lovingly reproduced and now reissued by HMV (Hamburger Modellbaubogen Verlag), the Weisskopf model embodies the golden age of early aviation modeling.
