Title: Albatros D.II Oeffag s.53 - Roden 1/72
Post by: Piotr D. on May 20, 2014, 09:23:44 PM

Hi
This is my recently finished Albatros D.II. I did not use any addons, made it straight out of box. It is the first model on which I tried to make wood texture. It was not as dificult as I suspected. Decals of this kit were very tough, even paint thinner was hardly able to soften them (Microscale SOL and SOL were useless).

All looks perfect wood texture and fabric painting.

I have it in my stash, I'm planning to do it soon.

Adam.

I am very glad to meet my countryman, building WW1 aircraft in my favourite 72nd scale, and to such quality! A very nice pure wood-linen-bare metal model. Congratulations, Piotr. I am looking forward to see more of your models soon.

Gorgeous model Piotr!  It looks much larger than 1/72. ;)  Outstanding craftsmanship.

Cheers,

Truly magnificent work, Piotr!  Your wood grain and fabric weathering, shading and translucency are top notch.  As others have said, she looks much larger than 1/72 scale.  I did Oeffag 53.05, Anny, a little while back in 1/48 scale.  Yours looks like it could be parked next to mine in a diorama.
Cheers,
Bud

Outstanding work and in God's Own Scale makes this even more remarkable. This could easily have been 1/48 scale. Your wood and bare metal finishes are most realistic. Many congratulations.

Piotr,

Well done!  I think the wood turned out just great.  VERY realistic!

What paint did you use for the fabric?  I am trying to find a good color for my Albatros D.I and it looks like you nailed it.

Welcome and post more... ;) ;)

It is ModelMaster acrylic paint, but to be honest I didn`t write down number of this paint and unfortunatley I don`t have it anymore. As far as I remember, this paint name was "light sand" or something like that and it was originally dedicated for II World War german tanks "ambush" camouflage.

One more 1/72 Albatros from Europe! And this one is just great. The wood effect on the fuselage and prop, as well as the weathering, are just beautiful.

Beautiful Albatros, Piotr.  The woodwork is great and the
rigging is spot-on.

Cheers,
