Thanks!

WWI planes in 1/16 being issued, this figure might just come in handy! Despite the usual injection plast limitations, this could turn out a real beauty...and Moritz is a great looking dog too!
Well done Miniart!

Cheers

What the English name of this box art artist?

Hi Tao,

From what I understand, the signature is A Kapawyk for Andrey Karaschuk. This person has done many if not all of the box art over the years.

I suppose you refer to the cyrillic alphabet..!?!

Well, his name is "Karatschuk"

Cheers

The art work looks more like Werner von Voss, than Manfred von Richthofen. Richthofen had more of a squarish jaw-line. I also count rivets!

LOL...nothing wrong with counting some rivets Biggles!! Though I thought it was a pretty close rendition:

Yeah, good one! I was thinking of this pic. Somewhere he packed on quite a few pounds. At least the caption claimed it he was MvR.

LOL...yeah, a bit chubby there...too many in-flight cookies maybe! LOL!! War did thin these guys right out!!

I think it's more like a late war photo - he's getting older and fatter .

LOL...hiding cookies in the Tri-plane!! Nice!! I am sure with his victories, he got all the food he wanted!!

Too much Schnitzel!
