She's truly lovely, Aviatik!  I love these early kites.  Like the others, I'd like to know about your construction techniques and materials, as well.  The pitch control looks interesting.
Cheers,
Bud

For painting i used acryl paints White+Ocher+Sand (basis of staining), for imitation wood i used oil paints: Lefranc - red oxide + sponge.


To illustrate canvas I used Japan paper.

Excellent modelling of another type that I had not heard of! Your wood finish and the see-through fabric are particularly noteworthy - very many congratulations on a superb model.

 :)  I am very glad that you like it. Thanks again for the compliments and comments. This is one of my favorit projects and I am very happy that I was able to bring it to the end. Informations about this aircraft are very few or almost nothing, except for one photo and a few details. Except Rusjan are known on Slovenian soil, two pioneers of flight Jože Zablatnik (Joseph Sablatnig) and Stanko Bloudek. I plan to do at least one aircraft of each of them.

Aviatik,
           Is Japan paper the exact same as mulberry paper which is available in both bleached and unbleached?   Thanks

Almost the same. Japanese paper used florist for flowers wrapped or modellers for gliders.
