Well here she is, left, abandoned, on a consignment shelf, 2% built and most of the sprue parts removed. Orphaned, she turned out quite well. Thanks to the feedback and suggestions from many here I think I finally rendered down the ideas into a presentable kite. I'll not ague with the 'purists' on the markings; I took some liberties. Some were because of my own personal choices as well as not having 'proper' period decals and such, others were, well, there never was one to compare to. But all in all she may pass muster? My goal was to present a 'what-if', as if they were to have been scheduled to go into production, and this was the unit presented to the JG1 command for their own trial use.
