Lovely model, Sergio. Welcome to the addiction!

I'm a great admirer of the Roden Albatros series. I think they are better in places than the WNW D.V/Va and as your excellent rendition shows can be built up into a splendid model.

Nice one.

Welcome Sergio. That looks like a very nice model indeed, I would appreciate some more photos so we can get a closer look!

We also hope you will not be limited to just this WWI build  :)

Your D.751/17 turned out beautifully, Sergio! I've always liked the Otto Hunzinger scheme with that interesting wraparound take on his initials. More pics please!

Excellent, Sergio!

Impressive when you consider you've not done an aircraft model for so long and a none to easy kit to boot .......

Hello Brad - Sorry for only replying now, but I had a vacation and didn't take my PC with me.

Thanks for your comment and I'll post more photos of the model!

As soon as possible I hope to start Wingnut Wings - Sopwith Pup RNAS :)

Cheers

Hi Sandy - thanks for your comment!

I like Albatros very much too. Too bad I couldn't get the decals I'd like to apply, in this scale... Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the whole process of building it!

Regarding the quality, I only have to mention the fragility of the supports that hold the upper wing, otherwise, I think it's an excellent price/quality ratio.

Cheers

This was the 2nd plane I made from the First World War. The 1st was the Fokker E.II/E.III - from Eduard (1:48) more than 20 years ago!
