Both are truly extraordinary, Rick.  I'd be proud to have either or both in my display case.  Superb modeling all 'round, buddy.
Cheers,
Bud

Amazingly precise and clean work. Impressive. Maybe you could use a more powerful spotlight for the shots. Or just add a little brightness and fine-tune the color balance in an image program like this (that's what I use to do):

HI Rick:

Two outstanding builds.  Where did you get the decals for the Albatros?  I like that combination.

Thanks Mark, greatly appreciate your comments. As for those Albie Decals the chevron and tail stripes were painted on. The serial number was cobbed together from Pheon and kit decals.

Lance, Bud, Dave, Vincentm, and Ed, You are all a great support and I truly appreciate how you have followed the builds and offered encouragement!
