Csaba Fodor AutorThank you guys! It is indeed a special livery, not seen too often. I am still learning how to rig a biplane properly, and I am still far from the WW1 masters.

Csaba Fodor AutorThanks, I have been dreaming of building this plane since the 1990s, when I have seen it first time in a publication. The available reference material was very limited, but the age of internet changed a lot, and found a handful of quality reference photos of the original. It was time to fulfill my old dream and build this plane.

Album info
This plane was handed over to the local flying clubs by the occupying Soviet forces in 1957. After an overhaul, the plane operated as glider tug until it crashed and burned two years later.
I made my own decals for the registration, and masks for the wing pattern. A late style propeller was taken from the old Eduard kit. I also addressed a few differences between early and late models.
Rigging is done by Uschi wires. I also used Eduard's photo etched set for detailing.
