I have been following this build very closely since the very beginning, but I did not comment as there was simply nothing to add - brilliant work all around!

Great job, Borsos, looking forward to seeing her finished.

Cheers

I can't see the need for Wingnut Wing to release an early Albatros fighter, I wished they would go for a plane that does not exist as a kit at all.

Agreed. Absolutely. If only Roden wouldn't shrink away from WNW's comeptition so much.

Btw, are you habe withh the jig?

Stunning - I'm tempted to have a go with one of my Roden kits, although yours is a real benchmark. Bravo

Superb job of the Alby, Borsos!  I am looking forward to seeing
the rigging done.  You have convinced me to give one of those
wooden-clad birds a try.  Great work, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie

Very nice work Borsos.

I will be interested to see how your wooden laminated prop works out.

That is a tricky challenge to carve to the fine tolerances required.

Best of luck!

Hello,

thank you very much for your Kind comments!

I finished rigging (finally!) and can call her done now. Next Pictures including base and Pilot (and probabely some weathering here and there) will be in the "completed" section.
For the rigging I used 0,16mm fishing line. The Axial decals were stolen from my WNW Albatros D V, because they are way better than the Roden decals (I have to build a machine with another Propeller manufacturer now...)

Btw, are you habe withh the jig?

I love it, it was a great help rigging the plane. It would be even better, if the 90° of the two main holders would be fixed.


Thank you!
Borsos

Congratulations on a truly spectacular Model Borsos! Superb work throughout, the shading and weathering are beautifully executed and the "woodwork" is truly in a class of it's own. Your work is inspirational and I am looking forward to seeing more of it.

Absolutely superb Borsos - a stunning result and very evocative indeed. Just shows what can be done with a non WNW with some dedication - brilliant
