You are doing an excellent job with this build Toby, the top wing decals look great.

Decalling and rigging complete I used monofilament  for the main rigging but  had to use EZ line for the nose to wing strut as my clumsiness resulted in the mono originally used to snap. The EZ line is much more forgiving.
I just need to add the wheels,tail skid and finish off the prop and she'll be done.

Now that is one pretty Albie!  Nice work Toby.

The Albatros is almost done. Just need to finish off the tyres. For the propeller I base coated it orange and put on a light layer of Vallejo transparent wood grain. I then varnished it. I then sprayed RAF middle stone onto clear decal paper and then cut it into thin strips and applied to the prop. Another coat of gloss varnish and a dry brush coat of Vallejo transparent wood grain followed by another coat of gloss varnish. I think I may have overdone the last coat of wood grain but hey ho what's done is done. Also I noticed that the U/C is very slightly out of kilter but it's something I'll address more closely on my next build.

Very nicely done Toby! I don't think the prop looks overdone at all! An Albatros to be proud of for sure.

I agree with my amigo 100%!  Prop looks great.
