Wingnut Wings' LVG C.VI

December 9, 2024 · in Aviation · · 24 · 271

This build shows my LVG C.VI in the markings of FAA233 in the closing months of WW1. One of the earliest WnW kits, it builds up into a very nice model and I like the contrast of camouflage, lozenge and black and white panelling around the nose; at the end of the video, there is also a cameo appearance by two crew figures... ;-).

The model was completed as part of the 'Great War...' group build here - https://imodeler.com/groups/the-great-war-a-tribute-to-those-who-served/forum/topic/wingnuts-wings-lvg-c-vi/, and a video is also available here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0LRF8HiDzs - should you wish to see more of the construction process. Thanks for taking time to look in... ;-).

    • Hi, Matt... thank you. Yes, the camouflaged fuselage came up well, and I like the contrast with the lozenge pattern. It's a bit different from the norm, with many of this type of aircraft being left in their varnished wood finish.

  7. It's a great looking model Paul, enjoyed following the build.

  8. Nice work, Paul. I have one of those lingering half built in its box.
