So here it is, finished after two months, Roden's 72nd scale with Part PE bits and Pheon Model decals, Albatros D.III flown in Jasta 18 by Ltn d R Paul Straehle in Autumn 1917.


























And my small Jasta 18 line-up

PrzemoL, I am totally in agreement with Bud.  You have given us
an excellent example of the modeller's art.

Cheers,

Absolutely beautiful, you are a true craftsman and your skills shine through with these models, hard to believe that they are 1:72 scale. Congratulations on a job very well done.

Congratulations Przemol, this would be world class model in 1/32nd scale; it's mind-blowing what you have achieved in 1/72nd.

An absolute jewel. Way to go!

Thank you, everybody for your kind words. I am overly flattered by your opinions on my models. I happen to know a couple of modellers who achieve much more in 72nd scale, my models are laughable when compared to those. Probably the best one is Andrzej Ziober, who does marvels in plastic. You may check here:
http://www.modelexpo.com.au/resultsflipper.html (page 20-21)
or here:
http://www.kartonwork.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10257 (the text is in Polish but I encourage you to see at least subpages 60, 61, 62, 64 and 65).

mc65, it is already decided, WNW Triplane already sits on my desk.

Gorgeous model with stunning detail. It's a pity that so much is hidden inside. Along the way you have pointed out Part PE to me, who produce really interesting PE.

Can't wait to see your Sopwith triplane.

regards,
Ivo

Thank you, everybody. I am glad you like my little Albie.

Ivo, I have started cleaning up the cockpit elements for Triplane. The photos will come when I have something painted.
