Well, it's finished. The model represents one of the first 10 built, serial 61.58. It's one of the few that didn't have a balanced rudder, which would be recognizable by it's overhang in front of the rudder post, and it's early enough that it doesn't have a forward-firing gun.

Front quarter view, as usual.


Rear quarter view.


Rear close-up, showing serial number and the interesting aft control rigging. The top line goes to the lower elevator horn, the middle line goes to the rudder horn and the bottom line goes to the upper elevator horn, passing through a cutout in the stabilizer along the way.


Starboard rear quarter view.


Front close-up, showing radiator and gravity fuel tank mountings.


Next I'll be finishing the other Hansa C.I, the one with the machine-gun tower. Unless the Albatros I have on order shows up first, then everything changes.
