The model depicted in the kit is of the first German aircraft to fly over Paris, the D-2 flown by A Friedrich and Dr. H Ellis flew from Berlin to Paris-Villacoublay on 7 September 1913.
The decals are for the 'Taube' flown on the "Five Countries Flight", and includes the name "ETRICH" to be placed on the lower wing.
The 'Taube" is one of the most famous aircraft types around and was long overdue for kitting in 1/48 scale.

First produced for sporting purposes, Taubes were later used for observation and training by Germany and Austro-Hungary during World War I. Ironically, the Taube (meaning Dove, the peace symbol) was first to drop bombs in war; the Balkans in 1911 and Paris in 1914.
Editors Note: The Taube though not a tailless craft - but none the less utilising engineering concepts from Etrich's gliders is therefore represented here buy a number of references and images for those wishing to follow the design concept through to its final form.

 Rumpler Taube   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Rumpler Taube is a pre-World War I monoplane aircraft, and the first mass produced military plane in Germany.
Being the Germans' first practical military plane, it was used for all common military aircraft applications, including as a fighter, bomber, surveillance plane and trainer from its first flight in 1910 until the beginning of World War I. Due to the rapid advancement of aviation during the war, the design was obsolete by 1914.
Subsequently the plane was a very easy target for the faster and more mobile enemy planes at the beginning of World War I. Therefore, 6 months into the war, the Taube was removed from the front lines and instead used to train new pilots.

He followed the accounts of Dunne's and Etrich's experiments with inherent stability, and after military service during World War I, applied his interest to glider design.
The ailerons were redesigned to approximate the form of the Zanonia seed and Igo Etrich's Taube.
Etrich himself recommended the configuration to Lippisch; his faith in the principle was reaffirmed when the 1929 Storch IV glider demonstrated impressive stability and control characteristics with Gunther Gronhoff at the controls.

The Taube is one of my favourite aircraft - a Rumpler built machine is on display here in Oslo.
Be aware that early aircraft like the Taube had a tendency to crash and get rebuilt in a different configuration, the one I have studied has been fitted with floats, larger wings, tail surfaces, engine and a rebuilt fuselage during its service with the Norwegian Naval Air Arm before and during WW1.
