Polish Air Force was formed in November 1918 to 1.XII.1918 used different identification marks in Warsaw, Lwow and Krakow.
In Krakow, it was a red letter Z on white field, in Lwow white-red stripes, in Warsaw shields and wheel divided obliquely to the color white and red.
Two years ago, we found a photo that inspired my to bouild this model. It was a next variant of the Warsaw markings white-red roundels similar to the markings of Denmark.
In spring 1919 the aircraft have still a mixed of Warsaw and German markings.
