Let me present my vision of one of many G.3s serving in Bydgoszcz Pilot School in the years 1921-1927. The example 15-18 was photographed around 1926.
The lovely CSM model had to be modified to the Polish post-war version which most striking difference was in the aileron lateral control replacing the original wing warping - I have done it basing on a couple of blurred photos and unconfirmed scale drawings from several sources, let me call it an educated guess.
The decals with numerals and masks for Polish national markings were provided by Mr. Decal.
All in all a very pleasing project ended in a result, which I deem differs substantially from many other great builds of this great CSM kit. I hope you will enjoy these couple of photos.

Mind blowingly amazing Prze!

I can only echo what the others have said. Quality craftsmanship of the highest standard! Looking forward to your next project.

Thank you everyone. Your welcome to this model makes me happy indeed. ;)

Excellent!

First class in every way. As others have written the finish and detail are just stunning. The ailerons look just right and who is to know if they are a mm or two inaccurate?

Hi Prze, found this picture in a 1926 article on Polish aviation in L'Aeronautique... you've probably seen it, but I thought it an odd co-incidence that I'd stumble across it now!

Thanks, Boch and Dave!
And that photo, Dave, what a jewel. I have not seen it before! Any chance for a better resolution?

Hi Prze, by splitting it in two I think I can get the whole image onto the forum without exceeding the size limits:

Anyway, here's the link to the original article, "L'Aéronautique polonaise", in the May 1926 issue of L'Aéronautique:

One of the options they give you is to download high-res images, or parts of images, although I don't seem to be able to do it from my iPad :-/
