Austro-Hungarian Lloyd C.V

Album info

This 1/72 Special Hobby, Lloyd C.V really tested my construction skills, but I still enjoyed the challenge. I had to come up with creative ways of attaching the flying surfaces from wings and control surfaces. The radiator was a particular challenge as well as placement of the upper wing. The markings are Austro-Hungarian of Flik 53/ D. The Schwarzlose machine gun, was from Gas Patch. I made the gunner rings from copper wire. The wire spoke wheels are PE. The decals are from various other kits as the Kit decals cracked and fell apart. I used the sponge packing material in the Gas Patch products to paint the upper surface camouflage. I used a PE stencil for wood grain effects. The Lloyd C.V used an all wood wing and fuselage construction.
