Hello Chaps,
this is my WNW Albatros i'm working on and off since several months, it's a Jasta 17 Albi from an unknown pilot in 1918.
I'm building pretty slow so hopefully it will be finished someday :D.....
Cheers
Hans

That's the Albi i'm going for

Since my Albi is an example that's in service for some time the wings get a light preshading

I used Richard's ( Aviattic) excellent faded variant

Since it is the first time for me to create a wooden structure it took several attempts & techniques on the fuselage before i liked the result.....

Wonderful detailing and the wood finish is very nicely done. I have to ask, how did you do the nail patterns on the fuselage wood panels? I recently did the same kit with a natural wood finish and my "nail lines" aren't nearly as good as yours. I used a rotary rivet tool on mine.

Beautiful work on your Albatros! You have achieved outstanding results in your painting and decaling!!

Such a beauty. :)
Robin

Thank you all for your kind words...appreciate!
@Lance, i did the nails-Rivets with Rosie the Riveter tool with 0,75mm size
-
Thanks for the quick answer, I have a Rivet "wheel" Tool in that size and will use it in future vs the smaller size.
Cheers,
Lance

Wow Hans, I echo the superlatives above and am amazed by your level of detail.
-
Wow, the parts looks really nice so far, the finished model will be a beauty!
You wrote, you have not build that much planes, so you learned a lot form other modelers or you build other models - the result looks like created by experienced hands.
Cheers,
Frank

Agree with my Amigo !!!

Thank you Juan, Frank & Ed!!

Very real looking weathering! Excellent work and detailing.

Very nicely weathered build, it’s going to be a beauty. One little thing if I may, the undercarriage legs should be the other way round, the shorter ones to the front...
Best regards

Hello, Hans! I said that I would visit your Albi, and here I am. What a lovely build! All I can do is agree with everyone who has visited earlier: excellent work, my friend! Good luck with your Spitfire, and best wishes for continued success with your Albatros. I look forward to seeing this build complete and on full display! 8)

I missed this: that is a stunning build in every way. The details that you have included are superb. Really looking forward to seeing photos of the completed model.
