Lovely! It is great to see yet one more model of an aircraft with Wielkopolska version of Polish checkerboards!
Very fine build all together. Nice streaking!

I like it too. 

You did a good job on the streaking and it is neat to see these in different markings.

   Krzysiek,
Outstanding project my old friend. It's really great to see a Fokker D.VII in something other than German colors. Very impressive paint scheme and excellent wing streaking. I have to ask though what is the mascot on her fuselage sides? Blame it on poor eyesight or poor monitor,likely both.
Highest Regards,

Thanks for your so welcomed comments :)
This personal emblem of flight instructor Adam Haber-Wlynski represents the naked doll, which was created by mechanics. It refered to famous polish cabaret in the middle 20s last century.
