That’s a stunning build, a rarer type too.

Extremely nice model of a rarely (never?) seen full-size beauty!

Incredible scratch building workmanship -

I actually thought it was kit to begin with,

Thank you very much for your very encouraging comments! This gives me great impetus to get the other Albatroses ready :)

This build was an absolute joy to follow and the end result looks more like a 1/48 scale Albie than a 1/72.

That is truly outstanding. For a scratch build that its certainly top notch in every department.

I did follow your build intermittently - as stated elsewhere life keeps getting in the way of modelling for me at the moment and will continue to do so for a while longer, but seeing this makes me want to get back to my tray and start again.

I am really looking forward to seeing you build the Albatros types - and I will be looking for ideas for scratch building my own models.

Thanks guys, very encouraging comments! I hope the build thread will encourage people to try out scratchbuilding. Just start with a Morane Saulnier type L?that is the perfect starting point :) At least for me it was?

Great piece of scratchbuilding. I like the comment "first one I have properly finished for years". I know where you're coming from there.
