I have a question: I would like to paint the bird according to Ray Rimmel`s profile from Gotha! do know anything about the lozenge used on this bird? Were both upper and lower surfaces covered with the same loz or just like the fighters lighter/darker. Should any of you have any information or hypothesis please let me know!

Nice choice, Filip!  I've got the Hippo version in my stash, so I'm really looking forward to following your work on this one.
Cheers,

Hi Filip,

My understanding is the lozenge colors were thought to be the same on top and underneath for german night bombers.

I agree but I`m going to build the daytime bomber from one of the first production batches, I`ve followed the thread about the daytime bombers on Aerodrome by DSA but still no fully satisfactory answers...

Nice choice, Filip!  I've got the Hippo version in my stash, so I'm really looking forward to following your work on this one.

Before I bought mine I was hunting to get the Hippo version - pricey it was... but fortunately for me AZ reboxed it for the half of the original price  I have even bought Aurora Gotha but as soon as I got my hands on this one I sold it...

Very nice choice Filip, I am lookin forward to seeing you start work on this one.

David Wilson did a review of this kit, the review findings are here;  http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=758.0

Yes,

a nice choice for the next build. I really would like to finish one myself - but shelf space is too restricted, unfortunately.

I think the kit is not only missing some bombs, but the lower bomb racks as well?

Yes - the bomb racks are something you are supposed to DIY - fortunately I have some bombs from Mirage Bomb set.

I`ve also got the painting scheme figured out thanks to Ray Rimmel. Hope to post some pics soon...

I'll be watching and looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. I plan to convert mine to a G.IV.

Thanks for popping in and providing me with your support!

I was thinking about that too cause I like G.IV more - the nacelles have got nicer shape and there are plenty of interesting schemes...
Not much but this is what I`ve managed to do:
