Initially a postal service with just 4 seats and pilot and co- pilot, 1920 era.

The decals are not very transparent having a greyish background.

Nice ! Would look great in a diorama with a water setting.

Nice job.  That plane has a serious amount of wing.

Thanks Jim B. Yes as a 1/72 scale the wing length is longer that some of my 1/48 scale planes!

What a cool looking aircraft. The Germans took long chances in their designs, and I love it.

Never attempted a plane build, but might just have to give one a whirl seeing this beauty!

Nice job??

Well thanks guys. Kevin try something else stretch your imagination and skills build a plane. This was relatively easy as I normally build civilian Bi-planes, seaplanes but bi-planes. I had a great experience with my wife of fifty years just two years ago. We  visited our son where he lives just outside Calgary did the stampede for two days, onto the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver onto a ship to Alaska and few through/over the wilderness in a seaplane, WOW! Taking off and landing on water twice is just something else. I've done hot air ballooning, and two. two seat aircraft including a Tiger Moth Bi-plane built in 1948 the year I was born, various helicopters, and my wife and I into the Grand Canyon for lunch in a helicopter ! What a buzz!

Even better with corrugated alloy fuselages, on various of their WW2 planes!

Exactly! My buddy likes to call those " flying sheds" because the metal , from a distance, appears exactly as old fashioned metal roofing! It does have its own particular charm on old aircraft, and both he and I were ecstatic when Monogram released their 1/48 Ju-52 back in the 90s.

I have this kit. I need to build it. It was a real risk RevG took to even tool this up. I hope sales of it have paid off.

Thanks guys, sorry for the time taken to answer.
