Hi all

Even If I will not tackle one of those string bags very soon, I still got some samples in Nuremberg from that era and need to do some research for my reviews.

First I need a good source for the Fokker D.II (ex Gavia, now re-released by SH) (if a written source preferably with ISBN).

To take it a bit further I would like to do it in a camouflage and markings of a known pilot/ace, maybe with a PM ... any source for such animal?

Second I got the Lebedyev VII ... no idea about that one too ... sure no ace, but maybe a known pilot name?

Many thanks in advance

Hhhhmmm. . . a Fok. D.II ? schtimped das, I may have something for your reference list.

Many thanks for your response, Stephen!!!

I have seen your posts regarding this a/c at TheAerodrome, but somehow I could not find the right thing yet. I did find some ace stuff in the "early German aces" booklet by osprey (though some seem to be mislabeled Fok. D.II instead of D.III), but I still lack better info on the aircraft ... the Wiki is not bad, but a bit thin for my taste.

Here is my build of the kit. the serial # is just a rough guess.

Thanks a lot Stephen

I am not used to WW1 and thus I have to ask some stupid questions .. of course I know Albatros publ. but I must learn that they are the first address to check out....

As a matter of fact I was talking to Ray this AM. He advised that one of my articles on Nieuport trainers has just been published in Windsock. Wow !
