Albatros D.V 1/32 WnW

[Jacek]

I have tried this invention. The first time I'm doing this so I'm not sure of the effect









It will take a bit of time painting all panels.

The woodgrain looks a bit heavy, Jacek.  This is just my first impression as
I've never used something like that. How did you find it as far as ease of use goes?
I will be very interested to see when you have the fuselage all done.  Do you
put a coating over it when it is applied?

Cheers,
Ernie

It certainly requires some toning down. But IMO a few coats of clear orange should be fine.

Pretty cool idea, but to my eye, the grain is too pronounced. I'll be interested in how you complete this aspect.

I think so too.

In the worst case I have to wash the whole fuselage

Jacek, keep in mind the wood grain on the panels will always be in the same direction on the D.V -- parallel to the airflow. This is because the plywood was three ply and much easier to bend in one direction hen the other.

Thank you for suggesting.

The stencil is a cool idea. I am interested to see how it looks after your overcoats!

   I'm watching the use of the RB Stencils with interest; although I have them I have not yet had the opportunity to try them. Looking good so far!

The fuselage is slowly painted.
I fixed bottom surfaces....



.....and added green color on the upper surfaces.

The shading looks perfect!

Your shading is great, Jacek!  I was wondering if I had to do anything with a
multiple colour camouflage scheme and you answered my questions with your
photos, so thank you so much.  Keep up the good work on the Alby.

Cheers,
Ernie

[Zabu]

Lovely!

[Jacek]

Painted the second color.

Hi Jacek

When I see work of this quality it makes me wish that I was about 30-40 years younger so that I could try and put into practice the great things I see and build the models I'd never previously considered.

Best wishes
Nigel
