Nice one!
Given Revell's tendency to use their own paints, did you use them, and if so, what did you use for the upper wing colours?

Thanks, Jeraen,

Yes, Revell paints used - Revell's aqua range is what I use all the time as they paint smooth from the brush once thinned down. 

Colours used were the ones Revell called out for in the instructions.  This being bronze green, red brown and a mix of patina green and light blue for the light green.

Really well done, Dave.  I really think that the Albatros is up there in the looks department and you have really done it justice!

Cheers,
Dan

Thanks Dave -for the Red Brown, is that #37? There seem to be more browns and red browns.
