Wingnut Wings’ next new release will be the long awaited Jeannin Stahltaube (1914) initially announced at their stand in Nuremberg in February 2017. The initial bird like Taube (Dove) design was made by Austrian Igo Etrich and successfully took to the air in April 1910. Unfortunately for Etrich he was unable to patent his design, which lead to a dizzying array of copycat Taube aircraft being churned out by dozens of German manufacturers. One of the most successful was the Jeannin Stahltaube (Steel Dove), which was operated by the German military. 32058 1/32 Jeannin Stahltaube 1914
