Sorry: on google and the model madness site below it. The Hiero engine Lloyd CII site has a large unclear photo and a small thumbnail photo which can be enlarged and is quite clear; showing the left upper underside of the normal ribbed wing. The CII site mentions the plywood fuselage but says nothing about wings. If the CII wings were plywood also the site should mention that as well, as it does for the CV. Apparently the CV plywood wing had a tendancy to peel in the slipstream if damaged as well as the moisture problem. Also viewed Knights of the Air:Made in Austria and Special Hobby1/48 Model Madness of a Lloyd CV. The CIII and CIV renditions show the wing poorly, as you say, but in that 'yellow' dope color you discussed in a previous post, again indicating a fabric rather than plywood wing.http://www.militaryfactory.com/aircr...ircraft_id=739
