Udet's Albatrossen in 1/48
« on: July 07, 2015, 02:13:34 AM »
I finally finished the last D.III to complete this collection.  All are Eduard kits with various mods.  A few decals are homemade; the build threads are scattered around here.  As far as I know these are all the Albatros fighters Udet flew.

Sadly, it's really humid today, so please forgive the sagging rigging.   >:(

Drew,
A stunning addition to your Udet collection! Your DIII is very inspiring and different than those one normally sees!

Oh wow, the group picture is brilliant, Drew!  Each and every
one of the Albys are a jewel on their own.  Beautiful work, my friend!

Cheers,

What a gorgeous collection of models, they are each superb in their own right but as a group they look fantastic, very well done Drew.

Your latest addition to your amazing Udet collection is absolutely stunning, as are all the others.  Individually, they are all brilliant.  Collectively they are truly impressive.  Outstanding work all 'round, Drew.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Bud and Martin!

A couple more shots; it's tough to get them in one all together.
