Wow... I'm blushing a little from all the kind comments! 😊 Thank you all!
With all of the 'impossible' skill that is on display in this forum I'm only happy to be able to add my small efforts.
Some answers;
A real beauty. One of my favorite Jasta 5 machines. And you really did it up right.
I really like the light brown around all the panel edges and other fittings. It looks so much more realistic than black and as Lance said it is not over done. What did you use and how did you apply it? The Bravarian blue and white looks super. How well did the decal go down?

Several of you mention the weathering as SP in the above quote. It's simply Tamiya brown panel line accent colour. Applied on top of an acrylic layer of varnish - I'm not sure it was a gloss layer, it might have been a semi-gloss layer?! Apply carefully with a fine brush, not the one in the bottle and later remove excess wash with a fine brush dampened in white spirits. There is a final semi-gloss layer on top of that.
SP - there are almost no decals on the model, only the very small ones and the coat of arms on the sides, so the checkers are painted. I fear decals!
James, Bjarne (and Björn) asked about the green on the tail. Very simple - it's Tamiya X-28 straight from the jar as per the WNW instructions. I think my pictures are a little on the dark side - I'll try and take one with better lighting and one outside in the sun today, so that you can see the green compared to the rest a little bit better.
Fantastic Fredrik, it turned out really well. I do also want to know what colours you used for the tail as I have a Jasta 5 in the pipeline ( and so do Björn
).

Bjarne! I hope you're doing alright! May I ask what's not in your pipe line?! 😉
Cheers Fredrik
