Steve's Models

Next project is a companion piece to the last one - the Fokker D.II. I was going to build the Austrian B.II "Baby" out of the box, but I came across a particular plane I really want to do, and not having enough kits available to do everything I wanted I decided to use wings from another kit to make it into a D.II. The D.II kit I have is set aside for conversion to a D.III later on.

The only photo of the plane is from this group shot:

'Dodo', the plane in question, is the middle of the back row. Here is an artist's rendering of 'Dodo' in combat.

What attracted me are the black-and-white stripes and the white cross on black tail. Actual colors are unknown. I'll get into that more later.
