Now there is  type we do not see modelled too often. Excellent finish and very interesting type.

Excellent work Tim, a type that is rarely modelled and this looks really good. A great subject for the GB, well done!

A great model of one of the best looking Albatros C types, and the three colour camo looks better than an all-red aircraft would  :)

Ha, I knew this was going to be knocked out-of-the-park. Every aspect is excellent to look at.
Honestly, I didn't know this aircraft existed until your build. Of course I've seen the photos of MvR next to this a/c but never really looked close. I always thought he was standing next to a CIII.
Love your attention to the bungee cords, they look perfect, now I have to step up....

Lovely work Tim, she's a little beauty. I enjoy seeing new-to-me types pop up and built to such a standard.

Really nice work Tim. Great subject and color interpretation too. And originating from a vac kit to boot!

Not only is it good that you made a lesser known aircraft but you made such a fantastic representation of it.

That?s a really interesting type!  The swept back top wing is very unusual.  Great build and finish.

Fantastic!  Probably the most curious one of all Albatros two seaters. And the Richthofen connection gives it that little bit of extra! Great work and surely an inspiration.

Cheers, Skyhook
