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.
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you for your very kind words, Lance! There are of course always things you wish you would have done differently. I suppose that's partly why one build new models - the next one might turn out perfect! 😀

Really super job Fredrik,

They really look like 1/32 kits!

Thank you Gary, Paul and Andreas! I'm glad you too like the wood tones! Decals on one and oil colours on the other. I have to say that using oils is far quicker and easier.

Thanks Guy! They came out ok, but if I started them now there are many things I would do differently! /Fredrik

Fredrik, your models are a great re-entry into the biplane scene!
I like the outcome, only my eyes do not like the yellow fluorescent paint on the tail unit ;)

Your work with the cutting machine forces me to put such promising device to my X-mas wish list :D

They came out ok, but if I started them now there are many things I would do differently!
Oh yes, I know that feeling! And this is even more worse, if you touch an unfinished model after long time in shelf. I would like to redo many steps already done before ::)
For the mental health it is a good thing, that we learn new things and improve with every model!

Cheers,
Frank
