At long, long last, I have something to contribute. The aircraft is a German two-seater Rumpler C-IV; a late model C-IV, as distinguished by the lack of a propeller spinner. I borrowed the color scheme from the machine depicted on the cover of the eponymous Windsock Datafile publication. Tried to get the impression of pilot and observer communicating together.

I was a long time between contributions here, owing to a catastrophic failure in between. I had been working on a Hannover CL-II two-seater and was into the final assembly process when the lozenge-fabric decals that entirely covered the wings and fuselage began disintegrating. I'd fix one spot, and two others would fall apart. I finally lost patience and regretfully threw the whole works in the trash: six months' work down the craperoo! Oh well, a little lesson in humility...

The helpful suggestions from our brothers here enabled me to get this model finished today. Thank you, gentlemen. Hope you like...
And so it goes...
