Martin, when it comes to your work, all my expletives fall short.  The long and short of it is, you are the Master!
Cheers,
Bud

Wow Martin.

Your creation is more than a model, it's miniaturization perfection!

More please  :)

Dear forum members,
Some time things in life do happen, some times recoverable, some times it is not.
In this specific case, it is unrecoverable.
During a move from one room to another ( stairs ), despite carefull handling, the assembly had a mind of its own and went down the stairs ending up in a crashed wreck...!! In a long past, I had havoc before with a model ( WWII Shiden George)...but that model was recoverable.
The Albatros Dva unfortunately is not. I have worked on the model for the last 15 years with pauses in between, after all that work, it is a little bit hard to comprehend. I am not in shambles though...will clean up the working place and give my thoughts on the next project..enough to go for. In the mean time, I will follow your fantastic builds.
I'll be back.
Martin

Hi Martin,

if you are giving up on this, will you be selling on the crashed kit?

Sorry Richard, if there was any hope to fix the lot, I would have done so.
All is already in the thrash bin. All I saved is the engine and the hand carved prop...just to rember.

Then there is still hope.

Time to park this and let it bounce around your mind for a while

After all, there may be another use for that engine...
