Extraordinarily lovely, Pete.  My favorite Albatros scheme.  From the woodgrain to the weathering, every aspect of this model is superb.
Cheers,
Bud

Very, very nice work. I've come to like these colourful German marking schemes, especially when they combine paint and woodgrain as we see here. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks Chris, I must agree with you that they do look better than the RFC good old Olive Drab and CDL.

Cheers

Lovely work as usual and a good scheme to boot, Pete -

I think I'm right in saying that this is one of your builds used as signature on another forum?  Good to this see the full images of this model.

Looking forward to seeing your latest Albie project completed.

That's a beauty Pete. Thanks for posting it for us. Top drawer work. Those Albatros are special kites to me.
