I used Aviattic Lozenge decals.  I traced the pattern from the new Eduard weekend edition but used the Eduard rib tapes.  Tamiya XF2 white and Vallejo 70.947 dark vermillion model color  for the red. Some light blue was used to touch up the rib tapes when necessary.

 Rigging was with .004 steel wire. Weathering was with graphite.  I liked the Aviattic decals better after working with the Eduard decals on a Fokker D.VII.  Other decals were from Pheon,

It looks very nice. Those Jasta 18 colours are truly spectacular!

Excellent modelling! I am especially impressed by the rigging?.looks just right for the scale. Not easy thing to do. The colour scheme is also very eyecatching.
