I built one, (and still have it) about 18 years ago. At the time I felt it made
a reasonable approximation of a G4 or 5. Unfortunately I'm in the process of
moving and all my references are in storage so I can't look it up. I do recall that the Munson
Bombers of the 1914-1918 war shows it in the loz. nightime camo.

When I built it I was just getting back into the hobby so it was straight out of
the box. I hadn't even discovered Squadron Green putty yet :-(. But it still
looks impressive. The problems I remember are that the Decals did not stick or
conform well, and that the wings are so heavy the event though they have the
correct dihedral (sp) in the center they droop at the wing tips. I did not rig
it but it appears to need functional rigging.

Good luck,
