I still cannot get over this being 72nd scale - your detailing is amazing!

Incredible build, Przemol. I'm still trying to wrap my head around 1:72 PE. That just doesn't compute.

Having followed your build from the start I must say that it is incredibly detailed and painted! Beautiful!

PrzemoL, Ypur beautiful little Albatros looks right at home
with the d.VII and the Pfalz.  Wonderful models.
  One question, when you are painting over the crosses
on the side, do you use anything out of the ordinary, or is
it normal paint?  Is it thinned more than usual?  Thanks
for your help.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks Ernie for your kind words and the interest in my models. The blue overpaint in this case is a mix of Pactra French Blue and Clear Gloss, more or less 1:3 proportion. I prefer several thin coats to better control the degree of overspray, just like in the case of postshading.
