I had to have a 2-seater, I love their sheer awkwardness, and that the engine is so exposed.  Since my ceiling was seriously filling up, it had to be 1/12th scale, and at the time Arizona Models was having a clearance sale, so ...  It's a very nice kit (38" wingspan), though not easy to work with.  At 1/12th scale, the wing ribs are very thin and tended to break a lot, so I ended up having to reinforce many of them.  And due to the unusual construction of the cabane struts, bending the wires just so was a real bear.  The engine cowling was also a challenge.  I tried aluminum, carving wood,  none of them quite worked worth a damn.  Then I tried cutouts from a manila folder, stiffened with CA glue, bent and laminated with another layer of manila.  It's surprisingly strong once finished, yet quite flexible before the CA is added.  Once those hurdles were jumped, it was very straight-forward.

The 12th scale Mercedes engine kit that Arizona included was a particular pleasure -- I hated to cover it at all.  The rear machine gun was a Schwarzlose rather than the more common Parabellum.  Weird but cool.

One feature I really like is that -- rather than stressing out on the paint job -- I was able to simply add a couple of coats of varnish to the fuselage plywood and use the cream colored wing covering au natural, producing a nicely natural weathered look.  As usual, I ended up doing a composite design scheme.  There are too many "dragodiles" out there, and I couldn't find pictures of one I liked that showed both sides of the plane.  I hope I captured the spirit.
