iang Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Continuing a recent theme of WW1 German naval aircraft, here's Gotthard Sachsenberg's colourful DVII, CO of Marine Jagdgruppe Flandern. T This was built pretty much out of the box. If I was doing it again, I'd replace the Wingnut lozenge decals with Aviattic decals. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That's a beautiful paintwork for the D.VII. I admire your patience with the diamond pattern (decals?). The Marinejagdgruppen had a number of very colourful machines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Oh that’s jolly nice I must say. What are the black markings on the centre of the upper wing? They seem to differ from each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iang Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 John, According to the Wingnut Wings instructions, the black irregular marks are thought to be reinforcement to the central ribs with black glue. IG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG Thanks Ian. I wouldn’t have got that! I wonder why they didn’t paint over it after doing it given the trouble gone to over the paint job on the rest of her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
