Under Construction / Re: Pegasus Albatros DIII

When Dave posted his pictures of his 1/32 Albatros, I knew I needed one in 1/72.
The strips are two different methods. The wing strips are masked and painted and even taking care, there was a slight amount of overspray from the lower wing. For the fuselage, I spayed paint clear decal sheet red and cut each piece individually and applied it to the model. I am very pleased with the results even though I envisioned a nightmare at the tail with all of the contours. The decals fell right into place and only minor touch up painting was required.
The undercarriage was trimmed, rigged and installed. Then the wheels were installed. I like to get my models on their wheels as soon as possible. Final construction will take place in the next few days, with a completion date of maybe this week
