Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.III and D.V
« on: November 26, 2019, 06:17:32 AM »
At the age of about eight I built my first models. At this point, nearly 40 years later, I can't remember what aircraft they were. but one was a biplane. The Albatros D.III and D.V are my first efforts in this field since then. I'm quite pleased with the results and here are quite a few pictures. Thanks for looking!

If those are your first efforts at building biplanes then you are going to have to work hard in future to improve on them. They are a beautiful pair - something to be truly proud of. The build log was also very informative too.

That's a pair of truly stunning Albatrosen, Fredrik!  Your wood tones are sublime and your props are gorgeous.  If these are your first in 40 years, I can only imagine how marvelous your future projects will be.  Can't wait to see more from you.
Cheers,

Thank you for your positive comments! I should emphasize the fact that these are my first biplane efforts in 40 years. I do have some modelling experience from other fields though.

Real gems, Frederik. So clean built and painted. Great decent weathering and a perfect imitation of the woodstructure and colour.
I am looking forward to your next build.
Bye,
Manni

Great job on both planes.  Loved what you did with the fuselage wood grain.

I agree completely with My Amigo! I really enjoyed watching these come together on your build log!

First - thank you Rip v. Winkle, Juan Manni and RAGIII, for your positive comments!

Second - I thought I'd mention that the props are made using paper after being inspired by an article about paper propellers written by forum founder Des. Not that difficult to get a decent result.

Stunning pair of Albies Fredrik, as I just commented on your other Jasta V Albatros Thread the finish work is superb. Apparently the 40 years you spent in other areas of the hobby served you well, your WW.I skills are very impressive! I look forward to your next projects.

Fredrik,

Great job on both models.  I especially like the wood effect on the fuselage.
