Part 2.

I’ve completed the Aviattic four color lozenge application. This is my first attempt at using Aviattic decals. I must say they live up to their excellent reputation! I’ve never experienced a decal that conforms so well to raised detail surfaces.
I do think the faded four color lozenge is a little too light though.





I think I’m going to add a darker wash to the decals before I start adding the other details.

Thanks for looking in!

Looks great, Tim, I love "what-if" stuff! BTW I looked in WWI Aero and what I remembered as being a construction drawing was actually for a flying Peanut Scale model of the V.21 by a gentleman in Poland. Not much application to what you're doing.

Thanks for all your support and comments during this build. I think this aircraft is probably the most modern design of the First World War. Kind of reminds me of a WWI Focke Wulf!
I added Balkenkreuz and a white rudder to emulate a factory fresh production model, if it had ever been accepted into production.















Thanks for looking in!
