I'm also working on one of these. I use PrismaColor pencils on a khaki (tan) base for my wood effect. I'm very impressed with yours though. I'd like to ask a couple of questions that I have not been able to satisfactorily resolve. First, all photographs that I have seen show this craft with an upper wing mounter radiator yet the kit furnishes the ear types.
Which is proper for later 1917 losenge camouflage aircraft?
If wing mounted, was the radiator mounted on center or offset to starboard?
Secondly, was the single spandau or dual mount machine gun armament more common on later models?
One last nit-picking question. Was the firewall metal clad or wad it plywood?

Best regards,
Dan Smith
