WnW 1/32 Albatros B.II finished
« on: November 21, 2021, 11:30:52 AM »
Hi folks, I've recently acquired some spoked wheels from Steven Robson for my WnW Albatros B.II and am therefore committed to build it. I made a start, and wanted to share a few pictures. I still need to receive some engine cylinder primer cups and CDL decals from Aviattic, but am bashing ahead with other bits and pieces. I wanted to emulate that translucent look to the underside of the upper wing, and have painted the shadows needed that will be covered by the Aviattic CDL decal eventually.

My Felixstowe will have to wait a little bit longer.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi Gary,
Lovely start on your B.II.

The next time you come across Steven RobO Robson would you please send him my best regards? I haven't been able to keep in touch with the old boy since my departure from FarceBook. Appreciate it!

Cheers,
Bob

Outstanding start, Gary. I think the translucent look will turn out really nice with the Aviattic decals. Great idea.
Bye,

Yes Ken - Steven made the wheels. Not cheap, and they take a while him to produce to them...but they'll hopefully look good on the finished model.

Cheers,
Gary

A further update on this "translucent wing" idea I had. The base pattern of the top wing underside was WAY too vivid. After temporarily placing a test piece of Aviattic CDL over it, the pattern showed through too much. These decals are VERY transparent. So after toning down the pattern with more of the white base colour, I was able to achieve a bit better effect. The photo shows the toned down pattern, and the Aviattic CDL decal (not yet trimmed) to the right. Still not overly happy - but this is a steep learning curve.
Cheers,
Gary
