Title: Roden Albatros DIII OAW
Post by: compressor man on June 23, 2015, 10:32:17 AM

Hi guys,
Just finished this one. Am real happy with how it turned out but I feel like I had to fight the model at several points. Not sure why the violet on the wing shows up as blue in the pics but it was actually violet.

I am joining the chorus. You have build a very fine model. Nice wood and green-mauve camo. Congratulations!

Thanks for all of the positive comments! I am really glad that everyone likes it. It makes me glad that I persevered and finished this one. I never got angry enough with the model that I wanted to bust it but there were several times when I wanted to box it up and never work on it again, lol.
