That is a very fine scratch build indeed. The finish on the fuselage is excellent and the engines look very well done indeed. Any details on the type and where this one served?
Many congratulations on a mini-masterpiece.

Thanks lone modeller,I must confess I cheated a bit using some aftermarket resine engines I found in my stashbox,don't know the maker,also the props and machine guns and the bombs are NOT completely scratched..I had found some pics on a no longer available website(F'liegeralbum)that clearly showed a camouflaged GIII with engine cowls removed in operationál service with possibly BogohlII,together with AEG GIV's of that unit.

A very well built and finished scratch build, I have never heard of this aircraft type before seeing your photos but you have done a superb job in 1:72 scale.

The fuselage looks very convincing. Congratulations on a fine (and of course very rare) build.

Don't be afraid of posting here also the construction notes and the photos.
Photobucket is well known for its ephemerality. Today you see your photos and tomorrow they disappear.
