1/48 Eduard Albatros D.III Weekend Edition
« on: October 31, 2013, 06:48:54 AM »
Hi friends,
I just finished my first try in the world of WWI subjects. Great kit by Eduard and a lot of fun. The rigging was not to complex, just right for a beginner. With the help of Bob's buckles it was an interesting experience. Thanks for looking.
greetings ro

Phenomenal job, ro!  Looks like you've been at this WWI business for years.  Congratulations, my friend.  Please, continue building WWI subjects.
Cheers,
Bud

It is a very fine Albatros, ro. I like the wooden fuselage especially. Congratulations!

Hi Everybody,
thank you so much for all the positive comments. This is great motivation to continue with WWI subjects. Also thanks a lot for the help I got during the build. Now I have to think about the next project, I have a Bristol F.2B and a Spad XIII (both 1/48) in the stash. The other possibility is to go for something from WnW.

Hello ro:

Great job on the Albatros, hard to believe it is your first effort.  Very well done.  The wood grain, the panel highlighting, rigging all outstanding workmanship.  I look forward to seeing your next WWI project.

Best
