Beautiful model!   
Scale 1/71 is a bit too small for my eyes :) I did not realize that a model in this scale can have many details!

I had missed this one! Such a level of detail in a 1/72 WWI plane is just incredible. And the painting is gorgeous. Superb D-III.

i know the panel line discussion is over but i think its just fine. to me, especially in such small scale with such bright solid colors it is easy for a model to end up looking like a toy. the over accentuation of details is a way to break up the finish and bring scale realism. just like when an actor performs on stage even the men wear make-up to accentuate facial details which would get lost at the distance of the audience . you have done just that and done it very well. i think your albatros looks great.

Thank you, Vincent.
And thank you, Albatros1234, for your words about the panel lines. Great to hear there are others who think like me in this aspect.

The process meters...  therefore so much models are stuck between start and finish
