My latest early Pusher... German this time
AGO II, I think, Shapeways by John Macek I think it it was.

Love seeing the early war birds, Chris. Very nice!
Well done, Chris! I do not think that I have ever seen a model of that particular plane before.
Are the national insignia decals or hand-painted? Looks like could be either.
Hi Sam, the background is painted and the cross is a decal
Yes, that is one of John's very nice offerings from Shapeways. And very nicely painted too
Very nicely done Chris

Another very nice offering Chris.
For a Shapeways, you have a very fine finish on it.
Hope to see it in the flesh at WMMS.

Lovely work Chris!
I didn't know the Germans had pushers - have to look at getting one myself now.
Not a whole lot, but of the ones they had, apparantely the AGO C-II was the most popular with the aircrews. The first German pusher was the Euler "Luftschiff Zerströrer" (Airship destroyer), which had a fixed machinegun mount and a single seat. It was a pre-war design that looked ever so much like a DeHaviland 2. The idea never actually caught on in Germany, but Antony Fokker was forced to pay a royalty to Euler for the idea of a fixed forward-firing machinegun.
Very nice Chris. I just love the early birds.
Yes, that is one of my earliest designs... second, I think. I've learned a great deal since then.
Here's what it looks like on the inside.
The painted prototype. I have since added crew.
And the bomber variant.
VERY nice, Peter!
Still can't Rep you, dammit!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Looks great, Peter. Love the stripes and the forward gunner.
A very nice finish on that once again Pete.

Excellent job (as always)! I was sad to see it go down so quickly in the DYM campaign. Surely Les Bouledogues will be dazzled by the stripes should they see it again.
The racing stripes make it go faster, right?
do the stripes have the same effect for a/c as skimpy chainmail bikinis do for frank franzetta fantasy lasses? if so im grabbing my paint brush lol!!!
Faster indeed! And I'm hoping the extra layer of paint will stop any bullets trying to hit the observer.
Nice work Chris, and a lovely aircraft I hadn't heard of before!
Peter, love the stripes & overall paint scheme.
Those stripes are way too good, looks even more impressive than in the game, very nice plane and even nicer painting
