Manfred von Richthofen´s Fokker Dr.I | Meng 1/24th scale

[Jboldt007]

i've found it interesting that the fuselage mounted Mg's on these planes often had their cross hair sights installed. in this case the double spandau's i presume. What, like the pilot was going to squint with one eye with one of them and line something up in heavy, cold induced winds with things shaking and oil splattering? I'm guessing most just let go with the lot when closing range and hoped for the best then high tailed it out of there...
