Classic Planes Vac kit

Being a vac kit, all details, including
the
engine and interior, needed to be
scratchbuilt.

The colorful 'lozenge' fabric
camouflage
was airbrushed through
a series of hand-cut stencils.

SIEMENS-SCHUCKERT DIII, German
fighter, 1918
Pilot: Ernst Udet
Pegasus injected styrene kit
|
|
The 'business end' of the DIII.
'LO'
was the nickname of the pilot's
fiance. It was common practice for German
fighter pilots to decorate their planes
thusly,
though the bright red coloring
was reserved for only the cockiest pilots.
|
The underside of the DIII displays
the
colorful 'lozenge' pattern fabric
often seen on German aircraft in WWI.
The struts are fashioned from photo-
etched
nickel silver for strength and
uniformity.
