Sorry that I have missed this one before. iI too know this kit from my teenage years….. You are making an excellent job of it, especially all of those eyelets. The paint job looks especially good - who was the pilot?

Thanks LM, the pilot was Goering, I am currently planning 4 aircraft of Goering's including the Albatros, plus 3 DVII's and hopefully they will be on display at Telford this year if all goes to plan, yikes! :o

Hi folks,

A lot has been done today, the Albie has taken a back seat until now due to wing fit issues.  But this morning I beat the crap out of it to get the top wing on!  Third time's the charm!

Miniworld Spandau's added as well.  My plan for the rigging didn't work prior to wing fit due the issues.  But with the eyelets in place it shouldn't be too difficult, hopefully, he says! :o





She is still looking quite shiny due to the gloss for the decals.

Just slowly getting the decals to settle down, then some light weathering and the final matt coat before rigging!  Cant wait!

Thanks for looking,

Justin

That's a fantastic job you've done there. Although an old kit it's come out well. I think Revell are a bit underrated when it comes to biplanes in this scale.

Hello Justin:

Great job so far.  I like the color scheme, very striking.  No matter what Goering was, he was an ace and he did fly some colorful a/c.  Looking forward to more updates.

Best
