Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.V, Udet's 4476
« on: March 12, 2015, 07:33:02 AM »
The last of my Udet D.Vs, fuselage painted Tamiya Buff, woodgrain in oils, then clear yellow and orange overcoats.  Landing gear lengthened and Barracuda wheels.  Lots of scratched details.  Lozenge with linen decals over from Microsculpt.  LOs from solid decal film, numbers from another forum member posted on another forum a long time ago.

Beautiful rich honey colour on the fuselage Drew, you did an excellent job with the wood. The rest of the model is extremely well finished and the rigging is superb, well done and thank you for posting this very attractive model.

What a great build!  Really nice work on the wood grain finish.

My favorite of your Udet Birds! Extremely well done all around  but in particular the wood grain and Lozenge application are striking!
