Péter Lőrincz went to town on Flashback's Berg D.1, adding details, carving a new wooden propeller and spraying the distinctive lozenge finish.

Drop-dead gorgeous. I can't believe that the lozenge is painted. That is mind-blowing.

Fantastic! Could you please post a tutorial - with photos - of how you did the camouflage? I have this kit in my stash, and will buy a replacement engine soon.

Peter,

This is a outstanding piece of artistry.

How did you make your turnbuckles? The ones out at the interplane struts look PERFECT!

It is the body of the turnbuckle that I admire the most, with it tapered at both ends, then the eyelets.

Thank you in advance.
Dave
