1:144 Caudron R.4
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a French-style Caudron R.4. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
The Caudron G.3 and G.4 had no protection in the tail, and the Caudron G.6 and Caudron R.4 were designed to remedy this deficiency. The R.4 was initially intended as a bomber, but the limited horsepower of its two 130hp Renault engines limited its lifting power. It found its niche in reconnaissance and escort missions, where they began trickling in to units starting in the latter months of 1916. In all, 249 were built, and they served in small numbers with various units until they began to be replaced with the highly successful R.11 and various Letords. Escadrille R210, equipped with R.4's from October 1916 to July 1917, reported damaging 34 enemy aircraft in a two-month period, proving the R.4's worth as a gun platform.
