  Dear Mike, 
   Thank you for your reply! Oh yes, it is  really not too perfect replica... Actually, not only the logo on the tail, but the tail itself is... hmmm... not very correct. Actually, it is from sportive Yak-52. 
    But still, this bird would look better in some WWI movie for example - especuially if properly painted! - then the PC animation, or the Antonov-2 agricultural biplanes :)
   
     Kind Regards! - Eugene

Iban, I am ashamed of you. “Real men” don’t admit failure to understand
and then ask directions. Either you accuse Allan and/or Sanjeev of making 
the website unnavigable and user unfriendly or fake it, saying the replica is
an astonishing effort and while some of the minor aspects may not be in 
complete agreement with some contemporary photos and drawings, it is a
very pleasing result. You would go into details but for the requirement to
get back to work and earn your livelihood. 

Eugene, of course, I’m joking. I’ll have to dig around a little before posting
any comments. But to show Iban that I’ve visited the site, I will venture
that the logo on the tail is not authentic to the 1917 period. The archives 
also have some photos of one at the Prague NTM, although not much is known
about its origins. I had a kit of one, by Omega or HR Models I think, but I 
sold it on ebay. Lubos may still carry it.

NR: Instructions on lawnmower, why it doesn’t start.
ND: Copious amounts of Corona. . . it’s very hot and humid here.
NU: Put lawn mower in garden shed and look in Yellow Pages for
repair shop. Drink more beer to forget the failed experience.
Watch grass grow.
