This is a Shapeways LVG CVI two-seater airplane (not sure of the manufacturer) painted in 1919 Lithuanian colors. According to Wings Palette (www.wpalette.com), “Eight new C.VI's were supplied by Germans on 27th February 1919. This aircraft took part in combats at Polish front in March 1919. The aircraft was piloted by German mercenary.”
All paints are acrylics.

Fuselage is Folk Art Georgia Peach base with a Delta Ceramcoat Maple Sugar Tan stain; underbelly is mix of Craft Smart blue lightened with Folk Art Wicker White
Rudder & tail are Folk Art Wicker White

Engine cowling and top wing radiator are Apple Barrel pewter gray with Craft Smart silver wash
