Few weeks ago, while browsing the internet for Czech pilots in Austro-Hungarian army, I found the story about Fp.Haupt. Josef Novák (the wingman of Brumowski) and some pictures of his plane. His main plane was the Albatros D.III Oeffag nr. 153.137 with his initials (J and N) on the upper wing and with the acronym of his girlfriends name (Lil) on the fuselage. No colors on the airplane, just canvas. What an easy repaint I said to me. I've scraped away the decals from Hautzmayers Albatros by Nexus and added mine. That’s all.
And then…
The ingenious idea!
I can make me the decals for some plane with MY initials and with the name of MY wife.
Because I’m the Czech man, I wanted some Austrian airplane. And I found that the Ares has released the exactly one I need. Aviatik D.I – Sabeditsch (WGF110B). It doesn't need any painting, just add the decals.
Here are the results:
Josef Novák – Lil and Jakub Veverka – Moni.
Another planes from Ares production, I can recommend to this easy customizing are: Fokker E.III – Buddecke, Halberstadt D.III – Keudell, Morane-Saulnier N – Navarre, Sopwith Triplane – Dallas, Albatros D.II – Szepessi-Sokoll, Fokker D.VII – Goering, Sopwith Snipe - Kazakov.
They all have enough space on fuselage and upper wing.
