I dug out my SRAM kit of the Junkers CL.I and painted that instead.

As would be expected with a monoplane the build was very straightforward, with replacement undercart made out of piano wire and plastic card. Skytrex prop and Reviresco crew were used.

The colour scheme is one for a CL.I used in the Baltic in 1919. I've seen this aircraft illustrated in these colours and also in a similar grey/mauve scheme. I chose sand/green because I intend to paint the D.I (when it finally arrives!) green/mauve. Dom's Decals provided the national markings with the 'V' and the serial markings home made.
The most time-consuming part of the build was the wing crosses. The arms are longer than any of the available decals Dom does, so I had to extend the arms of a standard decal by adding arms from other crosses. In the end I think that I used 4 decals to make each cross in the end.

It will eventually use a Roland type stand as the radius of fire of the rear gun is more or less the same.
