LVG C.VI built by Memorial Flight - walkaround [image heavy]
« on: March 03, 2016, 07:37:26 PM »
The LVG C.VI built by the Memorial Flight in France has now arrived in New Zealand and made its public debut at the TVAL flying weekend on 27th and 28th February 2016. It did not fly as the transfer of certification from France has not yet been completed. Some details have not been installed as yet - the radio and spare magazines for the observer's Parabellum. It looks brilliant! Observant readers will find lots of details to add to the WNW kit if you haven't built it yet.

Most of the images are reasonably large, clicking on them will make them bigger but if you save them down they will be even larger.

































































































More photos to come
Happy Modelling

Fantastic pics, Jamo, thanks so much! And a huge "hats off" to the guys at Memorial Flight for the fantastic attention to detail they put into this!

 Was there a deal done for them to get something in return? I can't see why they would want to part with this just for cash....

Hi Ian
Yes there was a deal done. In some Memorial Flight photos you can see an unpainted Albatros DV and their BE2f also came from TVAL
