Title: WNW Albatros Bii, Austrian FliegerSchule.
Post by: drdave on January 27, 2022, 04:33:43 AM
Codes are made up, but it’s a plausible Scheme. May have had a different engine, 9 bar Hazet radiator, different header tank and rounded rudder, but who cares? She’s been sat on the shelf of doom since Covid came to town in March 2020.

Spectacular. I love those Austrian markings. And the staining, especially the top of wings centre, is fantastic. And I see you tamed the WNW wood decals to great results. All in all a show stopper and no mistake!

I agree with every thing Prez has written. The weathering/staining is most realistic. Wonderful to see a training aircraft for a change and in Austrian markings too.

WOW David, That is an absolutely Gorgeous Build!! I Love the layered weathering, chipping and what you have done with the wood surfaces. Superb build and Terrific choice of Markings.

PS: Have you found an alternate site to age photos?

Great work, as the guys have said above-the weathering is excellent!

Funny enough I was trying to use the Bakamatsu koshashin site to do some aged pics. It’s gone, sadly. I loved that site.

Yeah, I found out A couple of Months ago. Since I had provided Ray Rimell with that link and noticed He is still posting Aged photos I asked him for his new link. He basically said google aged photos which brought Me No Joy!

I really like the subtle marks of weathering on your CDL Dave - very well done.

There's not much more to say! Great work and the weathering is something for me to try and strive for.

Brilliant work, Dave!

Subtle weathering is good and I like your simple display base which sets of the model beautifully.

Very very nice Dave! As a big fan of weathered finishes I really appreciate what you've done here, the staining and the "toning down" of the wood portions is very realistic, a lovely model and one to be proud of.
Cheers,
Lance

Beautiful work Dave, she looks like a well-used training bus!

Dave,

Marvelous.  I too love the AH markings, and the weathering, and the shading on the engine, the mounting of the radiators, etc.  So nice.

The weathering is very impressive!
That looks really like an hardly used early bird.
