This plane was tricky because I couldn't find a good image of the engine for the life of me. Neither could my historian. I ended up using an amalgamation of similar-looking engine pieces from various references (and probably various planes) to get it as close as possible. My historian approved it, so this is what we ended up with.
The second seat of the plane usually has a Parabellum gun attached to it, but since I wasn't the one who modeled it, I didn't feel like I should attach it to the plane. It's hard to tell if the gun was attached in the final product since the planes go by so fast.

The engine. I scoured the internet but couldn't find any good references of the C.IV engine, so this is cobbled together from similar planes.
