DFW C.V Late (1/32, Wingnut Wings) - 1.EW
« on: December 13, 2015, 05:46:56 AM »
My vision of the late version of DFW C.V, which served in 1. Eskadra Wielkopolska (1st Great Poland Squadron) in 1919/1920 in the Polish-Soviet war. The model presents the aircraft from December 1919, when the squadron was based in Kisielewicze near Bobrujsk (now Belarus). It was flown by various pilots and observers but one photo session indicates, that once at least it was flown by Kazimierz Burzyński and the observer place was taken by the future Gen. Władysław Anders.
The squadron for its early 1919 service in the east front had its aircraft decorated with special commemorative plates showing the white eagle and the white band with the inscription "Za obronę kresów wschodnich" (For the defence of eastern extremes) which was later used as the squadron badge.

The kit was enhanced with some scratch built details in the engine section as well as the altimeter in the front cabane and rear-view mirror. The markings are decals designed and made by Melius Manu. The spoked wheels come from Scale Spokes.

Enjoy.

Truly extraordinary all around, my old friend!  How did you handle the wheels?  Did you remove the tires to paint them?  They turned out spectacular as did the rest of the model.
Cheers,
Bud
