Excellent work on the camo colors, engine, and decaling!

looking good, but I am just wondering if the stencil should be there after repainting the fuselage - what I mean is that unprobable the US crew to repaint the stencil after they painted the fuselage in those strange colours and keep them in German language. I may be totally wrong though, just thinking out loud, I haven't see any pictorial evidence and nor I have been looking for it actually.

Best regards,
Sasho

  This aircraft was in American hands in 1918 at Koblenz according to the information in the Wingnut Wings instruction booklet. As illustrated it was not, like the McCook Field Dayton OH. one (7502) re-painted. I think Jacek's choice of schemes is in original German colours with the serials etc. clearly visible?
   Sasho, are you confusing it with 7502/18 as shown in experimental camouflage?
   And YES, Jacek, really beautiful Build!
Cheers,
Lance

Wonderful build!  I am enjoying watching it all come together.
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Each opinion on Roland is pleasantly heard !

Please yet one opinion on the turnbuckles.

I think "B" the best. So difficult to replicate turnbuckles at such a small scale
