Hello! After my hindrances (children) were born, I could not find time to do this hobby. I am definitely contemplating getting back into it though! It has been over 10 years since I made this so please forgive my memory.
This is my Eduard Albatros in 1/48 scale. I believe it was the profipak version. Eaglestrike lozenge decals. The propeller is wood made by Marty Digmayer. Heat stretched fishing line was used for the wires. I know I put more into the cockpit and engine that can't be seen. I wish I could remember more to tell you! Thanks for looking. I have never shown or posted any of my planes before. I always considered myself a mediocre builder. But it was fun to do.

Thanks a lot guys! I will also look into photobucket or similar as well. I personally like BIG pictures! I am a technological dinosaur as well so please have patience. I will try my best... Cannot wait to post more.

This is awesome stuff! You are actually a very talented modeler, not a "mediocre" one!!! Please show more of your work!! :)

Mediocre?? Anything but! She's a real beauty, well done. I'd say a return to the Hobby would be a very natural second step after this! Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers,
Lance

Totally agree about the complete lack of mediocrity. That is an exceptionally well finished model in every respect and one to be very proud of in a display case. Many congratulations.

This is a fine, neat beautiful build! I like it very much... absolutely nothing mediocre about it at all, just wonderful!
All the Best,
Marc
-
Wonderful model.
-
Again, thanks! I called myself mediocre because I was one of those people that would spend months building something and I could never reach that "next level". I was my worst critic as many modelers are. When I looked at one of my finished builds, all I could see are the flaws in it. A speck of glue here, something I could have done better there etc. It took the fun out of building for me. My return to the hobby will be different in that it has been so long I expect to make plenty of errors. I plan to just have fun!
-
Hi,
That sounds like a damn good plan.
If the Albi was built according to this plan, then, the plan has worked
I wish you for your next models much fun! ;)
Kind regards
Jörg
