Here is my latest "carantine" project. Great model so far. More pictures, less talk.

Yes. Very fine kit, very nice aircraft and very fine modelling so far. Looking forward to see more.

Great model so far.
I can sign that!
I build the black one with some add ons (e.g. resin engine) and Aviattic decals. My Profipack was from the first edition, with really strange lozenge colors, but Cartograf markings. The redition later with the same order number (all decals are printed by Eduard) has a bit better lozenge colors, but can't reach Aviattic.
Since there is a second set on the sheet I will build the blue/red one one day, the kit is already in stash.
If you want the use Aviattic, the very prominent stitching has to be removed. In case you want some ideas: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9722.0
Have fun,

I like the plane and the kit has fond memories, so I will be following your build. Great start!
Frank
I looked at the link and found a lot to study and learn, (read, blatantly steal :-). One dumb question however. How big is the Euro cent relative to a US penny, (about 18mm)?

sp, thank you! As long the air screw is not removed from my model feel free to
stealcopy ;D

16,3mm

Frank, thank you for sharing a link,anyway, I already know all your "published" work ,since your models are a great inspiration for WWI model builders.
My dilema was, should i build this,a Udet mode.l or ,a black one with wonderful ornament on a fuselage. So I decided for red one,but with intention to get another one SSW, and to build this black plane.
Ah, lozenge decals, that is so strange with Eduard, they can make everything ,they are mostly not a shame of their mistakes and always trying to correct them,but with lozenge decals,and as i can see not only on this model, they mostly fail. My copy is with lozenge correction but still i am not sure in colors.
Stitching is sanded already .

I love this one so far! Very nice interior and the red looks great!

The lozenge looks excellent and really goes well with the red fuselage! Outstanding work on all!

Pedja, I like the read shade! What paint did you use?
Since you selected the Udet marking: If you like you can add 3! of his other machines to your collection at once. ;)

I friend has one of those photo postcards that were popular in Germany at the time. It is of Udet sitting in the cockpit of his Lo! SSW. It was a bit faded when I saw it 10 yrs ago. I will try to look him up and see if I can get a photo of the card. Your model is really starting to look good.
How far down did you sand the rib stitching detail? Did you loose the stitches and keep the tape or did you go all the way down to the wing surface?

Pedja, I like the read shade! What paint did you use?
Well, since it is a quarantine time here in Serbia (as in a most of the rest of the world) i was forced to use colors that i had in my stock ,and unfortunatly it was only two shades of Vallejo colors, one was Vermilion Model air and the other one is some Model color red (not even for an airbrush). mixing these two i made this shade of red. My first choice would be some Mr.color redbut there was no choice this time :).

To be honest, that was my plan ,if Eduard make some restock of this box,since the first edition is no longer available in their web site.

@smperry: I did sand the ribs but not to "the end" so there was some stitching detail still visible, i would say just enough for lozenge decals to cover it without tearing appart.

Pedja, I just checked again and at the moment they have it in stock: "IN STOCK > 10 pcs"

He, i did also ,you are right. thank you anyway!

Thanks, I have the original release and haven't looked at it recently, but IIRC, there wasn't a huge amount of tape and stitching detail on those wings. I looked at the more recent release at the hobby shop the other day. Still kicking myself for not picking it up. The bottom of the fuselage louvers were all the way through and looked great. It would be easier to sand rib stitches than carve out louvers. Maybe I will run back down to Tampa and get that new release, it wasn't that expensive.
Keep up the good work.

I have only just seen this - what a wonderful and colourful model. First class painting and details going in there.

This looks like a great build. The SSW is one of the really neat looking fighters of the war. (I still can't get used to the lozenge camo.) Almost like a very early generation Hellcat - stubby and powerful. I knew the plane wasn't successful but Wikipedia claims that part of the over-heating trouble (very bad news in a rotary - or a radial) was that castor oil supplies were very low and the substitute didn't handle the extra challenge. Easy to forget how badly German industry was running down by 1918 and it crippled operations. And just when the German designers were coming up with a fine new generation of planes. Looking forward to seeing more.

Looking good so far ! :)

Hi Pedja!
Your SSW is really amazing! You choose one of most flamboyant markings for this plane.
Maybe you know, but in Aerodrome there was two discussions on this plane, one about the LO marking on one side only and a second about red color also or not on upper surfaces of wings. Hope useful!
Many compliments!
