Albatros D.III Oeffag 153 Eduard 1/48
« on: September 14, 2014, 07:36:28 AM »
Hello,
One of the most pleasant kits ever IMHO. I have added Karaya`s resin engine + Taurus`s sparkplugs and some scratch, the Knoller Jaray prop is handmade, seatbelts HGW, sworls are Printscale decals - very nice indeed!!!.
The model depicts Godwin Brumowski`s personal plane number 153.52 of Flik 41/J  Passarella using this aircraft he shot down two enemy planes and finally had a crash in February 1918.

A very unusual scheme but very attractive all the same, you did a great job building this model and the decal application is excellent, well done.

Simply gorgeous, Filip!  A truly eye catching and attractive scheme.  Your build log was a joy to follow and the final results amazing.  I had heard some negative things about the Printscale decals, but they seem to have worked a treat for you.  I'll have to give this scheme a go (after I've built the other 10 or 15 Oeffags that I've got planned, thanks to Pheon!)
Cheers,
Bud

Thats realy a showstopper.

Decaling must me a hard Job. At least for my. Looking to long at it gives my some psychedelic feelings. ;)

Great plane, great modelling, great photographing.

Filip -

That is really lovely and I really like your choice of marking/colour scheme - very striking.

Actually these Printscale decals went on pretty well - I really enjoyed it.

Wonderful - it's excellent, a treat for the eyes!
Interesting that I've seen two fantastic Oeffags today ie. Brad Cancian's as well. Modellers clearly like these machines - when will we see one in 1/32? Please??
Anyway, brilliant work!
Cheers
