Nicely done Rick. You've taken on a real challenge by striving for contrast between panels on the Albie; I've done it a few times and it's a stressful little period of the Build! Are you masking between panels when adding the wood grain? I mask with a thin and "de-tacked" bit of Tamiya tape and dread that moment when the tape has to be lifted. To date it's worked very well, however .........?!
The Pfalz is a beauty as well, this is going to be quite the pair when completed.
Cheers,
Lance
