Thank you my friends!
Beautiful result with loads of scratch built additions in double quick time too.
Oh yes, this was a speed build! Not a big amount of parts, and all is very small - this saves a lot of time.
I really love this little bird Frank!
Thank you Willem, me too! As often I like the newest bird in the cabinet
I love the vibrant colour scheme.
Thank you Sandy! I intended the fuselage even darker, but I wanted also to keep a very light wood grain. It is difficult to tell from the b/w pictures what the colour was really like.
Nice detailing, and the eyelets for the strut cross-bracing works well. I really like the look of the upper eyelets (more visible in the construction thread).
Thank you Ken! I always try to improve and try something new, so this was the case with the struts. Often the rigging is mounted to the wing, e.g. my recently built Halberstadt but I here I tried to replicate the strut eyelets. By the way, the way to add the strut fittings was also new
Also special thanks for the hint regarding the cowling. As very last step I polished it wet yesterday, but it was more shiny than the fuselage. So I made another attempt with coarser sandpaper, now I like the outcome.
Lovely Bird, Frank! I wonder what it was like to fly this one?
Thank you Kevin! It take part in the second D-type competition at Aldershof in June 1918. The flight characteristics of the aircraft were praised, but the poor performance criticised = not ordered into production.
Another resin kit under your belt !
Fantastic results Frank on this one
Thank you Alexis, but I still try to improve and get better with every project. But I guess there will be never a perfect model. Her I had some trouble with CA during mount process.
And I have more Kondor types in my stash, again resin. I selected the D.2 due to the rotary available by Small Stuff.
the hand print did blend in well after all 
Oh yes Rick, now we both can live with it! Thx!
Very colourful and interesting because it is so poorly known.
Stephen, you like the seldom seen types, I know. I'm glad you enjoyed the build report.
Regarding the masterpiece - I think that the Halberstadt is somehow more a masterpiece, may be due to the effort. But yes, it is a nice model.
Cheers,
Frank
