Thank you very much, Martin and Alain!
After one week off to an abroad business trip I am finally back home at back to my modelling desk.
I have dirtied the engine
and put some colours to the plastic (actually, one colour for now - the fuselage green - I have chosen German RLM 80 dark greyish green, which seems to me a possible choice, made by those who prepared this aircraft using the stuff captured from Germans in early 1919 in Ławica Flying Station in Poznań)
BTW, the airframe of my example seems to be a combination of DFW parts coming from different manufacturers - engine hatch covers seem to indicate Aviatik but there are some details characteristic for DFW production like the manufacturer plate at the port side of front fuselage and interplane strut markings at the lower ends - and no Aviatik logo visible on them
The flying and control surfaces will be CDL. I have traced the outlines of the kit parts on the background of Aviattic CDL decals.
And finally, I have also drilled all the holes for the rigging.
A propos rigging, it is weird for me, but having studied photos of DFW C.Vs, especially of the one I am modelling, I came to conclusion that each interwing rigging line has turnbuckles at its both ends! I have always supposed, that it was practically enough to have one of them per each line. Can anybody confirm my observations?
