    Beautiful work on this one Giuseppe, I'm sure you enjoyed this Build as much as I did mine. It's a great kit and you've done a magnificent job on it, Bravo!

Stunning results  Giuseppe! It is one of the Most interesting of the schemes used on an LVG and you have Nailed it!

Marvellous model, G. Must have taken a considerable time - you've effectively completely finished a lozenged LVG, then repainted it all again with the white blotches. Beautifully done.

Thank you, my friends for visiting and for your kind comments.
It's really a beautiful kit, well engineered with clever solutions for everything. I hope someone will re issue the plastics, sooner or later. And despite being a little time consuming, making a double finishing, lozenges and winter camo overcoat is a very interesting and self educational task.

That is an amazing scheme Guiseppe. No wonder it took a long time - but the effort was well worth it. Beautifully done in every way, that must have taken some real patience!

BTW what is the instrument on the fuselage to the rear of the rear cockpit?

Thank you Stephen.
The instrument behind the observer's cockpit is a compass. Is well visible in the pictures on the instruction booklet and WNW website, unusual position.

Nice job. It must be a leap of faith to put the first blotch over that lovely wood and lozenge.

Nice splotch-work! It looks like the photos...and your subtle wood panel effects are also impressive. Thanks for sharing your model!

Thank you, Fredrik and Bob. Wood panels are mixed, some were made with decals (Uschi VdR) and some with oils (yellow base and burnt umber, raw umber and indian red for graining), say half and half. Eyelets and tube cuts for rigging from Bob's buckles, mated with Gaspatch turnbuckles.

Outstanding job on the winter "Camo" scheme.  I have only seen it done one other time.  Yours is certainly exceptional, well executed and the results are well worth the effort and time you put into it.

Very 'cool' paint scheme I haven't seen before.  Nice, convincing wood graining on the fuse.
