Second Udet's airplane in my colection. Nice model to build. Since there are many discusions about painting of this airplane i decided to follow Eduard instructions.





















Thanks for watching.

Terrific job on a Beautiful scheme and aircraft! Your painting is exceptional. I also love the Udet SSW DIII!

That’s very nice Pedja,

I’ve got the triple Udet boxing on the bench.

What a marvellous pair of aircraft as a tribute to an outstanding pilot.

Both kites look very fine. Clean builds, exquisite painting. One thing might make them even better, the more tightened rigging lines. Why not try the eyelet tube monofilament method?

That is really NICE.  I especially like the way you weathered/shaded/muted the red of the fuselage.  ...looks GREAT !

That is a truly lovely build, Pedja! It looks great - and fits my interpretation of that colour scheme perfectly! ATB, Marc.
