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...
The model for the model...
Outstanding model Jim. Your projects are always a pleasure to see.
