Janzen joined the German Air Force on 4th May 1916.  Following pilot training he was assigned to Jasta 23 in November 1916 and scored his first victory with this unit before being reassigned to Jasta 6 in October 1917.  He briefly assumed command of Jasta 4 on 28th March 1918 but just a week later he returned to Jasta 6 as the new CO.

Scoring his fifth victory on 4th May 1918, Janzen's Fokker Dr1 was shot down five days later.  He survived the crash and scored eight more victories, giving him a total of thirteen kills, before he was shot down again on 9th June 1918.  On this occasion, the interrupter gear on his Dr1 malfunctioned during a dogfight with a SPAD and he shot off his own propeller.  Janzen again survived but was captured and remained a prisoner until the end of the war.

Features of this model include the detailed triplane structure, cockpit with pilot figure, armament and detailed undercarriage.
