Obscure airplanes intrigue me and with the arrival of a three-view of the Stahlwerk Mark MS-llb, showing the wing and fuselage lettering, an inspiration took place. How about using condenser paper for covering and doing the decoration with a black felt pen prior to covering? The felt pen will not run because the condenser paper is not porous and does not have a grain. Also, if permanent ink is used, the covering can be water shrunk and does not have to be doped, saving weight. Besides the interesting markings, the design has a simple structure, a slab-sided fuselage, and no round tips on the wings or the tail surfaces. It does have a couple of potential drawbacks besides the complication of the biplane configuration, namely a very small scale horizontal tail and no real color documentation-although black letters on clear varnished fabric looks like a reasonable scheme that is nicely simulated with black ink on condenser paper
