This is the second biplane I've ever produced, the first one being a rather rubbish sopwith camel a few months ago. I spent a rather long time on this trying to add plenty of details, although while I was doing my research for creating this model I found it very difficult to find observation images and I also found quite a few conflicting sources, therefore this may not be a completely accurate model. With regard to the roundels, again I saw a few models and photos of this aircraft with different roundels on them, and I read somehwere that through the war, Germany used different air force roundels, so I decided to go with the roundels that the source said were from 1918. Enjoy the cockpit, it's one of my most detailed yet. It features a fuel gague *doesn't work* a very very rough spedometer, an artificial horizon thing that doesnt work and a turn indicator that does work :D

Controls.
I guess this isn't really necessary but still, group 1 activates the front turret and VTOL moves it left and right, group 2 activates the rear turret and VTOL moves it up and down. Everything else as standard.
