Beautiful work Dennis! Red and white two of my three paint nemeses (glares in yellow's direction) and I admire anyone who can achieve such a nice finish.

It is complete.  I am pleased with the results especially with the ease the top wing installation.  I had fears of this being a difficult area but there were no problems.  Even my upper and lower wings strips match.  That was shocking.

My main problem was the lack of clear reference material of this version of the aircraft.  Only 5 of this version were made and they were withdrawn after the wings kept falling off.  I am not a a flyer but I do think that is a bad idea.  See how smart I am?  So much of what you see is a guess based on my knowledge of other aircraft of this era.  It may be wrong but it is the best I can do.

Congratulation! You now have a nice model of this rare bird.

Planes of the "Donaumonarchie" are always interesting and beautiful.

Ok, there are some exceptions regarding beauty.

Very nice result Dennis, it looks great rigged. Well done!

Bravo lovely rare bird! Looking forward to your next rarity.

Congratulations Dennis, it looks great!

Beautifully executed Dennis. I’m going to have to reference this build for a future project.  What’s next?

I can only echo what everyone else has said, it’s a beauty! A-H aeroplanes have always had a special place in my imagination, perhaps because so many of the types are shrouded in obscurity.

Great job, Dennis.

My thanks to every one who commented.  The plane fits with my theme of unusual kits and it was a fun build. 

Next up is a WNW Roland CII.  It is for my customer and it will have an interesting color scheme.  I will not do a detailed build as far better models of this kit are available to view.  It will be a quick build as I have my next two models in my scale picked out and ready to go.

Thank you again.

Missed this one too. You have made a good job of that, especially with the split wing and aligning the stripes: neither particularly easy.

I too am a fan of the unusual types and have this somewhere on my to do list. Your inspiration may make me have a try to scratch build one.

Same here, Stephen.  Another nice one.  Elegant and colorful!
