Nice build I like the color scheme on it too. That is one of my favorite WW1 planes. I love the variety of color schemes for these aircraft. Any more you can tell us about the build or the color scheme. what parts were the most challenging for those who might want to get this kit in the future.

Here is a bit on the pilot. Uffz. (Corporal) Georg Gerick came from JsSch I at Famars on 25 Feb. 1918 and left on 29 October 1918 to be assigned to Jasta 66. He served at Jasta 66 until the End of the war. No victories.

Bob, What a truly outstanding build. Your painting, decaling, and subtle weathering is just amazing. I only wish I had the skills needed to build these magnificent WW1 aircraft.

Wonderful model and what a refreshingly different colour scheme and markings amongst the numerous WNW DVa models one sees. Great stuff!
