While I keep working on my two test models - the D.III and D.V in 1/48 scale - I did take out my third semi-built Albatros. The idea with this one was to utilise the lessons learnt from the other two as well as any other good ideas borrowed from places like this forum, but having looked at it again I realise that I need some tips and advice to get it past the finish line... first some pictures from the build so far.... actually quite a few pictures, so I'll post a few at the time - internal wood first.
I really like the look of the Albatros, so therefore I got Wingnut's Jasta 5 trilogy when it came and the first build was set to be Leutnant Wolf's aircraft with the blue and white diamonds.
First try on the internal wood. I was a bit lazy and thought that I could leave the ejector marks. I later realised that that was a bad idea and scraped them off.
Some other pieces of wood, most of which will never be seen but with which I'm really happy. At the same time I suppose that the woodgrain is a bit out of scale.
Next time some other bits and pieces from the inside.
