The modifications involved manly a different nose and a new two-passenger accommodation aft position. Some parts of the Broplan kit were replaced, like the engine and some struts. A whole new decal set was commissioned from Arctic Decals.

It is a rewarding experience to make those drab and gloomy WWI birds into more joyful machines with appealing color schemes and much more positive lives.

Flying advertisement went along with aviation development from its very beginnings, and since the purpose is of course to grab attention, the resulting models of them are per norm visually striking.

As another example, here is a "NUCOA" converted WWI plane, a Nieuport 28, that did not need any modifications of the original kit:

Many kits can be converted with little or no modifications into out-of-the-ordinary models that present another side, more luminous, of those magnificent flying machines.
