I remember this build of yours, Rick. Marvelous construction and your semitransparent red treatment looks splendid! I've been hoarding large scale Great War kits and am just now considering whether to get started on them with the Roden Albatros D-III. Thanks for providing the link to your build- I will definitely refer to your notes when I embark on my own!
-
Very nice work Rick! I love that scheme. ;D I want one! I have this kit on my shelf, and this really inspires me to have at it . . . once the Pup, Lloyd and Voss DR1 get themselves finished. ;) Well done.
Regards,
Bob

She's a beauty, Rick. I love the color demarcation on the wings. Soft yet tight at the same time. Very nicely done as is the translucent red.
Cheers,
Bud

Great looking bird. I will have to go thru the Aeroscale build log(thats tough to scroll thru) as the DIII does have some attributes that the DV changed up.

Vickers, Bob, and Bud,
Thanks for the comments!

Steve
Steve, I hope you enjoy the scrolling session! You will find some red Xs where photos once appeared, but some are still intact. I built this one primarily out of the box with the exception of using Eduards PE. Perhaps Brad Cancian will post his DIII build blog here. Now that one will show what can be done to really enhance the kit interior :)

She's a beauty Rick. A nice colourful marking scheme and an excellent looking engine too.

Gregory, thank you, I do appreciate your kind comments. One reason I liike the new photos is that my original pics didn't show the work I did on the rib tapes very well and these do!

Missed this when it was first posted up. An exceptionally nice build that demonstrates what can be done with this kit.

Beautiful. I see you went for the solid green camo, there are suggestions it might have been in the form of tiny mottles applied with a sponge. But I like your rendition very much. Great to see one more of those Albatroses from 7th Squadron!

Very sharp model well photographed.

What can I say Brad--absoluely superb modeling of WWI aircraft. I love the Oeffags, but your Voss Roden D.III is still one of my all-time favorites, and was very instructive and inspiring for me as I started into WWI aircraft modeling. Thanks!

Bob

Hello Rick, Jacek and Brad: I remember all of these builds. Great to see them all again. I did one, so far, my second 1/32nd WW1 A/C. The stripes were a major challenge.

Absolutely stunning Mark, the stripes may have been a challenge but you executed the painting perfectly, this is a very appealing paint scheme, well done.

All excellent Models; I almost hesitate to include this one. It was my first in 1:32 Scale when I made a serious return to modelling almost four years ago. It's the Roden Kit, not without it's challenges but overall a very reasonable Kit given some TLC...I enjoyed it immensely.

This was my first attempt at carving my own props as well, this one a straight forward Axial.

Lance,
Your DIII is a BEAUTY! Great scheme, woodwork and colors! Like you said, that kit really is a challenge but the results that can be achieved with a little work are well worth the effort!
RAGIII

Hello Lance:
Great looking Abie: I just purchased a book about Berthold. Makes me want to do one of his a/c. Your Berthold Albie is a neat model. Your prop is great, the whole model really turned out well. Keep 'em coming!

Mark

Hello Rick, Jacek, Brad, Mark and Lance,
I missed this one, it was started long before I became member. It's becoming to much for me, can't follow anymore. All these lovely builds. I would need a hole month doing nothing more than surch the forum to catch up with everything. This said may congratulations for all these nice Albatrosses. Many congratulations.
Kind regards
Patrick

Oh my goodness! Who can't love an Albatros?
Rick- Great work on the paintwork, particularly the red fuselage. Beautiful model!
Jacek- Really well done kite from the Polish Squadron. Your usual high standards.
Brad- What to say...your Albys' are absolutely wonderful. Werner Voss's mount
has to be my favourite. Classic!
Mark- Your striped colour scheme is an amazing example of beautiful paintwork. Very
attractive and a model that certainly grabs your attention. Wonderful work.
Lance- Georgeous wood treatments and the carved propeller looks perfect! The base
looks very professional as well. Very nicely set up.
All beautiful models, guys. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Here is my very sad looking Albatros D.III. This is a Roden kit in 1:32 scale and was one of the first WW1 aircraft kits I built when I starting modeling again three and a half years ago. I knew nothing about modeling WW1 biplanes back then so mistakes are plentiful.

Hello Des,
I hope I will make as much mistakes as you did. Can't really see much of them. You were really born to model. Wooden panel is great, colors are so subtle. Rigging terrific. Many congratulations!

I'd be very happy to do as well, Des. Really a gorgeous aeroplane and
I find extremely pleasing to the eye. The wooden fuselage and markings are,
in my mind, very nicely done.
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Mark,
I somehow missed your Albie! I remember this one and the stripe difficulty. IIRC the stripes didn't line up correctly from all angles as drawn on the instructions and box? You certainly nailed the scheme in the end!!
RAGIII
Des,
What can one say. A Model you consider substandard coming from your bench is better than Many can do at their best :D

Okay, here's a rerun of my D.III, a 1/32 Roden kit built as Hermann Frommherz's "Blue Mouse" from Jasta Boelke:

So I finally replaced the wheels on this one, using the current Eduard D.V wheels. While I was at it, I decided to repaint the tailplane. I know that Dan-San Abbott illustrated this machine with the striped tailplane but there are two photos of it after a crash clearly showing the tailplane in factory finish. So I decided to go for that look. The outside wheel covers appear to have black and white, but they are mangled and the inside covers are definitely not striped. Anyway, it contrasts better now with my other Udet Albatrossn.

Ken,
As I have said elsewhere your DIII is superbly detailed. The wood Grain Decal experiment worked Beautifully!

I figured it was time to add My build of the Roden 1/32nd scale Albatros DIII OAW, Jasta 4: Kurt Wusthoff . I did some minor corrections as follows:
1. I changed the interior slightly to represent a DIII vs A DI or DII as supplied in the kit
2. The Oversized Radiator in the upper wing was sanded off and replaced with a WNW Teeves and Braun from the Albatros DV.
3. The Rudder was also oversized. I used Drawings of the OAW DIII and the WNW rudder to resize/ reshape the rudder
4. Details were added to the engine, valve springs from wire, and plug wires from stretched sprue.

Hello Everyone,
Here are some images of a double build I did last year. These are not nearly as good as the models others have been posting here, but hey, I’m still learning (even in my 50s).

One kit is an old Eduard 1/48 D.III and the other is a “new” Revell re-boxing of the Eduard kit. In predictable fashion, I did the noob thing and chose two famous mounts used by two chaps everyone hear has heard of…MvR and his pal Werner Voß. These are of course, “Le Petit Rouge” and whatever WV called his heart adorned machine. I picked the MvR plane and my wife actually picked the WV livery out of reference book.

These are pretty much straightforward builds. As neither kit came with photo which parts I ended up buying one Eduard PE set and one Quinta Studios 3D set. I might’ve mixed and matched some of the pieces among the two planes (I don’t remember.). The only ”scratchbuilding” was a vain attempt at putting in rocker springs on the red plane (didn’t go well) and of course the radiator pipes for both craft (which turned out okayish). I used some online painting instructions and aftermarket decals (can’t recall which, but the WV decals were very nice and had white matte decals).

Ah heck, here’s one more:

Paint was a combination of Tamiya and Mr Colour (sprayed individually using Mr Levelling Thinner). The ”Little Red” fuselage was initially painted in several tones of wood tan and light green, and then covered up with thin layers of red after decals were applied. I’m honestly not very happy with how it came out, but such is life. As for the “Heart” machine, I did the same thing, except I used oil paints to create a woodgrain effect, and instead of painting it red I obviously gave it some light coats of clear, yellow, and orange. I’m not too happy with how the upper surfaces of the wings came out (bleed through and raised lines), but I kind of like the bottoms. It’s the first time I tried doing the wing tapes like that… I know it could be more accurate, but I think it’s OK for a first attempt.

I’m not sure I’m gonna do any more D.IIIs, but there might be a D.Va in the future. So, any suggestions on how I can improve my Albatros abilities would be greatly appreciated!
