Albatros D.III Oeffag s.153 - Roden 1/72

[Piotr D.]

Hi

Albatros D.III is one of my favourite I WW planes. Till now I managed to build only this one, but three more are waiting to be built.
It was my first plastic biplane I have ever built. I decided on paint scheme of Polish pilot Stefan Stec (during I World War he served in Austro-Hungarian army). I made rigging like in my 1/33 card models: I have put small rings of wire in wings, and bound line to them. It is not good technique for this scale, but then it was only one that I knew.
For now this is the last of my galleries. My next topic will be building report I think;-)

More first class modelling. Do show us some builds as I am sure that many of us could learn much from you.

Lovely! From just looking at the pictures of the model, I would not have been able to guess the scale. Your mottled camouflage is about the best I have seen.

Very finely build Roden's Albatros! And the leaf camouflage is top class, indeed!

I'm with Rob, Piotr.  Beautiful job!

Hello Piotr:

Another truly outstanding model.  The paint work is really interesting.  This model of Albatros is an interesting variant, too bad there isn't one available in 1/32nd.  You did an outstanding job on this one.
