I finally finished the MAC Hansa-Brandenburg C.1. Overall it is a nice kit when finished but there were some errors in my kit The fuselage decals were way too large and had to be replaced. I used extra fuselage crosses from a Roden Albatros D.1. The serial number came from the Blue rider sheet

I could not find any reference for the camouflage so I took that on faith. I thought the cockpit detail was good and the PE was useful but I did not use it all.

I really hated the PE gun ring. The cabane struts were scratch built as my were too short. I may have had too much of a dihedral in the lower wing that threw off the alignment so next time I will try for 0 degrees. There were many different production series with this aircraft and many alterations were done in the field. I would highly suggest the Windsock datafile when building this aircraft. It is a nice addition to anyone's WW1 collection.

That's really nice! I had no idea that MAC had done this one and you've made a great job of it. The camo looks very plausible to me and you've done it really well.

One I've been looking at for a while now RVW and you've made a great job of it. :)
For what it's worth I always err on the side of dihedral even when it is supposed to be zero degrees; something I found out many moons ago is that we can spot a sagging wing easily, but one that has a tiny bit of dihedral tends to go un-noticed (A bit like when you put some lettering or a word in the exact middle of a space it always looks too low so signwriters always add a tad more space below the word to make it look 'right')
I'll add the Datafile to my must get list since it seems to be one I am missing . . .

That looks very convincing to me. The camouflage is very well done: given the vague details that we currently have with regard to such issues, I think that your interpretation is entirely plausible.
Another first class model.

Wonder how you deal with the 1/72 rigging, that looks very nice.

That looks very nice! I?ve been thinking about buying one. Now I?ve seen how good yours looks I think I will get one!

A nicely looking model, very attractive camo. Congratulations

Very nicely done! I really like the camo, whether it's correct or not!
