Mr D
Nice 👍👍
Like the colour, Eduard do a good variation of WW1 German aircraft.
What engine was in this one ??
Nice job done 👌

David M
Thanks! 😀 It's the first WW1 aircraft I've made so was a bit hairy at times, but it seems to have come out reasonably okay 😅
Eduard say the engine is a "160HPMercedesD.III".

Very nice. Great fine detailed machine guns!👍 David M, you have inspired me to have a crack on my first WW1 aircraft. 😊

Wonderful when we get to step outside the drab of the later aircraft! Looks great!

Not bad, but I must admit I do not like the violet, which is much to "strong" and has nothing to do with the original shade.
Yes, that is a problem with paints for models - more than 50 shades of gray but many other color shades are not available.
Luckily I have wonderful "German purpur" and "Mauve" shades from "Drooling Bulldog" in my stash (really pity this brand seems to be out of business now; the website is still there).
AK offers also a WWI set with mauve and lilac (I don't know it personally as I do not work with water acrylics): ak-interactive.com/p..n-aircraft-colors-2/

Here are examples of my interpretations.

On my Fokker E.V I used oil paints: Fokker E.V | Album by bughunter (1:48)

Thanks for your likes mates, and your kind comments BetterTimes-Henry and Desert Marlin! 😀

Thanks for the perspective bughunter. I'm new to WW1 planes so simply followed the paint scheme in the instructions. I don't use aqueous acrylics either but it's good to know there are better colour sets out there. Your models look great!
