Hello, though I’d share the latest from the work bench.
The Type D was a modified Morane Saulnier parasol, built on license but with a pirate-copied Le Rhone 9C engine. Two of them were donated to Finland during their civil war, and bearing the swastika emblem of their donor gave the forst insignia to the Finnish airforce. My model represents a Swedish machine: the S-mark was a short-lived insignia of the Swedish air forces used until 1915.
The model is scratchbuilt with a Smallstuffmodels engine. It’s miasing a Thulin decal on the cowl, but I have neither managed to source it or print my own.
For own reference: the cowling colour is German grey-green primer from Ak Interactive’s German WWI set. Thulin seems to have adopted this colour from an Albatros that got stuck in Sweden when the war broke out and ended up with Thulin.
