    Love Gerbig's D.II, Alex! REP-worthy, but I'll need to wait some before I can give you any more. Very impressive work, nonetheless.

    Workmanship par excellence in abundance this week Alex.
    You certainly can shift the models along quickly.

I wanted to change the Szepessy-Sokoll rather mundane DII into one of the 'more' colorful planes flown by the Austro-Hungarians (based on Martin O'Connor's Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire 1914-1918), and I was taken by Graeser's cool great horned owl emblem, so I thought I'd give it a go. Vallejo acrylics were used throughout, and the plane was sealed after painting with Testor's Dullcote spray. Hand-painting the owl was a bit tedious, but I'm pleased with the result. After seeing some of the discussion on wood-graining, I may go back and try some of those techniques in the future.
    This was my first attempt at using my new phone to take pictures, as I move into the 21st Century with new technology so there was no real thought for backgrounds and shadows, but the pics turned out okay...as I get used to the process, I hope they'll improve.

    All the best,
    Matt
    Nice indeed!!
    Love the owl!!

    Ooooh, thanks for that!

    All my research sources state that LVG didn't put the Serial number on the fin (nor did OAW) - was this a Jasta-specific thing with 23?

    Are there any photographs of tail fins in that book? - you don't need to post them here (Copyright) just a yay-or-nay please?

    You got it, Tim. Lots of profiles all the way through the late war planes and majority have no #. There are great annotations to the profiles and on some it says "the serial number was not applied at the factory, but rather in the field."
