Post by: lone modeller on July 12, 2018, 03:49:26 AM: That must be one of the more colourful Albatros types: you really have made a first class job of it, particularly with all of the complex markings. The extra details such as the lagging on the manifolds takes this from being a super model to an exceptional one. Many congratulations.

Stephen.

My thoughts, exactly, Gaz! I have these markings for a 1/48 scale Alby and I will be delighted if mine turns out half as fine as yours.

Thank you, Rick! Your pair of Albatrosen provided a lot of motivation to me as well. I usually have 3 or 4 builds going at once, and sometimes it's easy for me to get hung up on a difficult step and work on something else. But taking a look at your twin build motivated me to get back to mine.

Thank you, Stephen! A lot of the credit for the markings goes to WnW. They're thick enough to allow you a second chance to move them, but thin enough to sink into details.

Thank you Bud! I've seen your DH.9a. I'm pretty sure your Albatros will be excellent.

Great build! Have been watching your progress.
Turned out great. Excellent paint work & decals.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming Albatros. I think the other two D.V's I have will be done for Jasta 23b (no pilot yet) and one of the Marinefeldjastas... I think I have a pic somewhere.

Paul, thank you very much! I find myself easily drawn to the more extravagant WWI schemes.
