Thank you, gentlemen. I am very glad you like my model.
Nice and clean and tidy.
Very well done.
Care to post a close up pic of the valve train and rocker arms?
No problem, krow, here you are
That is another gem to add to your collection Prez. What I really like about your models is that they are in Polish markings which makes them look so different. I had no idea that the eaely Polish air force operated so many different types.

This is a blessing (or a curse) of being placed in the middle of Europe. The heaviest fightes in the Eastern WW1 front were on the Polish territory. And thus the reborn Polish state had a chance to take over what was left of German, A-H or Russian aviation. The quantity of aircraft types used in the years 1919-24 in Polish aviation is indeed huge. First attmepts to unification and reduction were taken around 1924.
Very cool and unsual scheme 
Somehow I was always under the impression that the rear part of the fuselage was wood, as was the upper decking after the cockpit, so I guess I learned something new again. That impression probably comes from some of the lozenge-covered examples.

As far I as realized analyzing the documentation the rear fuse sides could be linen or plywood. But the photo of my example shows the uniform bright surface on the sides. As for the cockpit areas I analyzed the photos of crashed rumplers and my impression was, that it was covered by metal sheets.
