Albatros W.4, Eduard 1/48  



My model number 5 of 2019 is finished, after a light weathering here are the final pictures.

This float plane is a Albatros W.4, as flown at Baltic sea at "Seeflugstation Windau".

The kit is a very fine Eduards Profipack with PE mask and decals, released 2003. I added a wooden screw, some brass parts, Gaspatch turnbuckles of different type and a Vector resin engine. Paint was done with paint by Alclad, MRP, Gunze and oils ands pastels for weathering.
The build was pure fun, with your great support!
A detailed report: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=10502.0

And now the pictures!


























I hope you will like it!

Cheers,
Frank

WOW, and again WOW!! Frank you are a past-master when it comes to adding all of those extra details. I have to keep thinking that this is 1/48 scale not 1/24 (Well that is what you tell us!) I am lost for word when I try to appraise your models because words cannot express what I really think. Will viele sehr sehr wunderbar do? (many times, very wonderful)

Oh yes, I do like it! Very very much. These are the essence of early aviation and your superb model brings it so much to life.

    Incredible Frank, I am completely in awe of your skills as demonstrated here. A great Build Log and in the end result a spectacular model of a true classic, it doesn't get any better! I have to mention the results you achieved on the "brass" sleeves on the prop tips; I've tried to use the paint solution and failed miserably at it, you "aced" it!
    Congratulations, a true "top drawer" model!
Cheers,
Lance
