    I had my problems with the Reviresco decals in combination with an Ares Games Aviatik...





    M. Soviansky's Aviatik D.I Flik 74J with the original Nexus plane card.

    More easy repaint.





    F. Hebty's Aviatik D.I Flik 42J with original Nexus airplane card.

    Those skulls on the fuselage are fictional but look good on this plane.

    Very neat solution with the added interest factor added.
    Great stuff Sven.

    Great pair of Austrians Sven. Thanks for the tip with the decals. I have a set like yours. What were the issues you had?

    Great paint schemes - especially the first one with the blue and turquoise pattern areas!

    The decals fit not 100% on that Ares Games model.

    Is there a pilot or Flik(Squadron) for this plane?

    I thought I would give myself a little challenge and try to replicate the Austro Hungarian 'leaf pattern' camouflage. It didn't turn out as bad as I feared nor as well as I hoped. I need to add the aircraft serial number - 139.99 on both sides of the fuselage.

    Nice work, Gary That looks like it took some time and patience!

    Well done Gary. The effect is very good. I like the splash of Austrian color on the wheel hubs as well.

    Very pretty, Gary! The "leaf" pattern cammo looks completely appropriate on this type. Your D-1 is an eye-catcher for certain!

    On such tiny models, tires and wheel covers are difficult work. Well done there!

    Great job on that camo, Gary.

    Mine would come out like Jackson Pollock with Parkinson's ....
