Albatros W.4 Eduard 1/48
« on: July 10, 2017, 08:55:23 PM »
It took some time to finally take the pictures of the model that was 98% completed a long time ago. The only thing I`ve added is the beaching trolleys.
Here`s the link to the under construction thread: http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=7128.0



















Best regards

Beautiful, as is usual for your models, Filip! The wood work and rigging are exceptional. This is a conversion I've often been tempted to try in 1:32 Scale; seeing your efforts here make it even more tempting.
Cheers,
Lance

Outstanding work as always. I still have this one on my shelf of doom/ incomplete builds! You really have done this one proud!

What a nice Albatros! I really like the result.
This will be my template for sure, once the kit is started (still untouched in my stash).
For now I will have a look in your build report!

Cheers,
Frank

That is a truly super model. I especially like the instrument dial on the outer struts. Many congratulations on a first class build.
