Designed by Austrian Igo Etrich, the Taube is a bird shaped aircraft from the early days of flight. It was used by the Germans in WWI for reconnaissance and training. Etrich's first Taube was built in 1910, a precursor of the nimble fighters of WWI. This kit is a model of the most widely produced version, the 1913 two-seat military monoplane.
