I have a pleasure to present my vision of one of few Rumplers used post-war in Poland. This one was photographed in Cracow-Rakowice airfield in May 1919. It was natural-material-coloured, unarmed and most probably used for training.
When I built my first WNW kit - Pfalz D.IIIa, back in 2011 it was only a detour from my then usual 1/72 scale modelling. I would have never supposed that after a mere 7 years I will have 20 WNW completed kits (plus two other 1/32 ones). So it is a small jubillee today :-)

A fitting "Hallmark" model to your collection Prze, sharp, clean, and beautifully done as per your usual results. Lovely work! 8)

Another beauty for your collection. Congratulations Prze on another outstanding mini-masterpiece.
-
Congratulations Przemo! What a beautiful model! A fantastic display of your skills.
I think I am like you. I am a previously 1/48 scale modeller now interested in 1/32 WWI aircraft. But I have only just begun my first WNW kit.
Well done!

Chapeau, Prze!
The Rumpler is an other gem for your great collection.

Excellent build! But then, you knew that.

I think Lance has expressed my feelings perfectly! I enjoyed watching your build as always!

Nice and clean and tidy.
Very well done.
Care to post a close up pic of the valve train and rocker arms?

Cracking model Prze..
Love it!

That is another gem to add to your collection Prez. What I really like about your models is that they are in Polish markings which makes them look so different. I had no idea that the eaely Polish air force operated so many different types.

Very cool and unsual scheme :)
Somehow I was always under the impression that the rear part of the fuselage was wood, as was the upper decking after the cockpit, so I guess I learned something new again. That impression probably comes from some of the lozenge-covered examples. :)

This is a blessing (or a curse) of being placed in the middle of Europe. The heaviest fightes in the Eastern WW1 front were on the Polish territory. And thus the reborn Polish state had a chance to take over what was left of German, A-H or Russian aviation. The quantity of aircraft types used in the years 1919-24 in Polish aviation is indeed huge. First attmepts to unification and reduction were taken around 1924.
Very cool and unsual scheme :)

As far I as realized analyzing the documentation the rear fuse sides could be linen or plywood. But the photo of my example shows the uniform bright surface on the sides. As for the cockpit areas I analyzed the photos of crashed rumplers and my impression was, that it was covered by metal sheets.

Absolutely superb. Very clean build with just enough weathering for my taste. Nice and different scheme as well. There's lots of excellent work to be seen on this forum, your Rumpler trumps most. Very well done!
-
Superb !!!

Beautiful Rumpler Prze!
I very much like your translucent linen effect, which I think is nicely complemented by your
fine wood-grain and subtle weathering.
And super engine too!
Thanks for sharing :)
-
A wonderful model, Przemo! Your precise attention to detail and beautiful, subtle weathering effects combine to make an outstanding creation! All the Best, Marc.

Thank you, gentlemen!

A magnificent build - up to your usual wonderful standards! :)

That's just stunningly beautiful! Don't know what else to say... :o :o :o :o

She's truly gorgeous, Przemo! I've not seen this scheme before and I'm a sucker for linen and wood, so this one might just be my favorite Rumpler yet!
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks for the explanation -makes sense! :) I guess it wasn't all that uncommon to wrap wood with linen too, looking at my (sadly unbuilt!) DFW C.V.

Thank you, everyone. I am glad you like my unusual Rumpler.
