Here are few samples from my humble collection. All of them represent airplanes used by newly born Polish Air Force in 1918-1920 time period.  

Albatros D V.  Poland used few of those fighters, this one was flown by F/O Teofil Krzywik. Sadly, it was destroyed in a crash before it saw any real action.  It is an Eduard kit finished with Eagle Strike Lozenge decals as well as some custom printed ones. Rigging is done with Invisible Thread, material I use on all my biplanes.

Kit represents airplane used in 7 Eskadra Mysliwska, unit manned mostly by American volunteers, some with Polish roots, some not. Once again, decals are custom printed, rigging is Invisible Thread.  Click on images below to see larger images     Next is Fokker E V. This airplane was lost and captured by Russians.  I used Dragom Fokker D VIII kit, with Techmod Lozenge decals.  Click on images below to see larger images   And the last one, Lloyd C V. Poland used few of those, but only for training purposes as plywood construction proved to be way to fragile to use them in real fighting.  It is a Special Hobby kit. I replaced kit engine and undersized wheals wit resin cast parts. Decals are custom printed. Plywood finish is all painted. It is a rather complicated procedure but for me it looks much better than decals. Cezary  Click on images below to see larger images
