Information I am looking for concerns the lack on Ser# on the fuselage (who made the darn thing) and what was the lozenge scheme and possible colors of the engine panels. Looks like a great subject for modelling, but I'm such a rookie when it comes to identifying D7s

Anyone got any better pics of this a/c or any info is greatly apppreciated

This is a very late war production of an Fok. D.VII (OAW) type with a 180hp Mercedes D.IIIaü (note the standup air pump in the first photo) Though I wish I could see the upper surface of the top wing better. It may be a replacement item. The fuselage appears to be in 5 colour lozenge while the upper surface of the lower wing looks like it has a thin -translucent- overpainting..
