I really like the detail work inside the cockpit and engine compartment and the vacu-spinner.
Really a great job.

I hope the cowling stays open.
It would be a shame if this sight would remain hidden from the viewer.

You set the standards how to build Rodens Albatros D. III in 1:32 (at least - and not only - for me…), now you’re setting the standard how to build Eduards Albatros D. V(a) in 1/48. hats off, mate!

Hi Bertl - I am starting to think the same; most of the work I have done will indeed be hidden... I may have left it too late to remove the cowl panels and thin the fuselage sides down as that will make the frames not fit well. I'll have a think and see if there's anything else I could do here...

Thank you Andreas! I am very humbled that you remember my Roden Albatros from way back when... 2008 if I remember correctly! That one was a commission build, I have no idea if it's still in one piece today...

Cheers again,

@Brad Cancian
I think Andreas (@Borsos) means this Albatros D.III - built.





That's right funny, because exactly this model, this build report was the inspiration for me regarding super detailing and exact representation of the wood structure and much more.

I was amazed at what is possible - for me, it was "the kick in the ass" to do more with a model than just OoB.

 ....... many years have passed, but for me this D.III, even today, is an absolute masterpiece, Brad  ;)

Wow, Brad, you are making a WNW model in 48th scale! Great work all around.

All parts of your construction seem to be going well, Brad. I totally agree about your thoughts on the Eduard spinner. The one you fashioned looks great. And the tiny gap between it and the circumference of the cowling looks spot-on.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi all - I have not forgotten this one... work has been kicking my butt, however I have still made some snail-paced progress. The engine now has some paint...






Next, paint on the rest of the interior...

Slowly but surely, we soldier on!

This engine looks really nice as well. Kudos to you getting the asbestos wrap replicated on the intake pipes. I gave it a try on another build with miserable results. Will try again, but I really like what you were able to achieve.

A very convincing looking engine: just needs some fuel and a magneto and you could test run that!

I'm glad to see you are still working on this Albatros Brad.

That engine is looking very good!
