This is an absolutely gorgeous build! I've been looking at the Mirage Cl.II and Cl.IV kits, so its interesting to see the Karaya kit built up so well. Thanks for re-posting your photos on Flickr, too!

Cheers,
Mark

P.S. thankfully, it didn't suffer from its little accident!

Thanks for the complements.

I love the ragged overpainting on the fuselage crosses which is a nice touch typical of the rest of the builds thoughtfulness

The overpainting is my best guess of how it looked.  Not much to go on.  I only found one photo of this plane which is a photo of the two brothers that served in the same unit, with this plane in the background.  There is another photo of the other brothers' plane, which shows some of the overpainting of the factory lettering over which the skull was painted.  I assumed the same overpainting of the factory cross and lettering was done on this plane as well.

I don't know if there were Granatenwerfer grenades used on this plane, but I wanted some on one of my builds.
