Title: Some Berg D1's in 1/48 by Flashback
Post by: Monty on March 14, 2016, 04:43:26 AM

I picked these two up locally in a sale - quite cheap in local terms, a real bargain in Dollars! They have great decals and some PE (spoked wheels) and look generally nicely moulded - I think I'll enjoy them!

These are pretty nice kits and I think you'll enjoy working on them.  The AustroDaimler engines are pretty basic, however.  I got a couple of the Karaya A/Ds and they are much better.  Of course they'll pretty much be covered up anyway .  The other difficulty would be getting hold of any Tarnstoff camo in decal form.  The only ones I've used were the Americals, sadly long out of production.  This airplane calls out for a WNW version, just my very humble opinion.

Yep! I completely agree with you, Oldalbie.

I'll closely follow your build, Monty!

like is mentioned above the engine is totally wrong but my suggestion is to get the new copper state a/d engine
