I received two of these for Christmas, they are Skytrex models and very easy to build. I do have to mention that the instructions were absolute rubbish and were hand drawn on the back of a fag packet, or looked like that. The molds need some work or redone, there is not much flash but some of the details do not stick out or are slightly out along the join. In my research for paint schemes I also noticed that the struts on top of the engines are wrong, they should be two V struts and not the four straight ones you get with the kit, also these need cutting to fit properly, but you need to look at real photos to see where they are intended to go. I also noticed the struts on the tailplane and rudder are not provided. I may add these later from brass wire.
Anyway, here are my two planes from Kagohl 3, the one with red belongs to Ernst Brandenburg, I don't know where this exact scheme came from but he did have a completely red tailed GIII earlier, without the swastika. Brandenburg was the leader of Kagohl 3. The yellow and black striped bomber was flown by Hans Ulrich von Trotha CO of Kasta 15.
Here is an excellent history of the unit now that Gotha's fill the sky. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/fo...owtopic=154095
