During World War II, these precise 1:1250 scale Wiking models served as official military recognition tools (Erkennungsmodelle). They were utilized by the German Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine to train pilots, lookouts, and officers in tactical identification, fleet maneuvering, and silhouette-spotting.
