I'm a newby in WWI aircraft modelling. Not in aircraft modelling though, since I bought and built my first 1/72 a/c kit almost 40 years ago. Since then, I had focused on WWII aircraft. But a few months ago, I was asked in my modelling club if I wanted to be part of our WWI anniversary project. I thought this was a good occasion to add an Albatros fighter to my showcase, since I just love the streamlined shape of this bird. I then looked for reference documentation and (as I feared), it looks like the Albatros is not going to be the first and last I build from this period...I've already bought a Pfalz D-III and a Fokker D-VII.
I've recently started building the small 1/72 Albatros and constantly seek for help and information each time I come across something that is completely new for me: lozenge camo, wood effects, rigging, laminated props, and so on...So here I am.
