This is modelling of the very highest standard x how many models? I am shortly to try to do something with the old Airfix Albatros for a GB on another site but I will not be able to produce work that is anywhere near this quality. Brilliant!

Hello Frame:

Outstanding workmanship all around.  I would be hard pressed to believe they are in 1/72nd scale.  I am looking forward to your next update.

Best

The amount of detail you added to these very small models, as well as the quality of the painting, are outstanding. The final diorama will be a masterpiece.

Hello everyone
 ... continue! As I wrote in one of the above my posts, the operation of the diorama will develop in front of Hangar 2 Boistrancourt. Relying on information from the book by GK Merrill series of Windsock Datafile Special "Jagdstaffel 5" found that in this hangar were housed three Albatroses DV - Albatros DV, serial unknown, pilot: unknown, Albatros DV 2065/17, pilot: Obit. Richard Flashar, Albatros DV, serial unknown, pilot: Vzfw. Fritz Rumey:



 This led to the decision to eliminate one of the planes in the diorama. I decided to send him to the service of the Jasta 37 for the needs of Ernst Udet:



 Briefly what work finished on models: After final assembly, diligently washed the plastic with alcohol. Because I do not use a primer that has enormous implications for the adhesion of the paint. The next step is the application of paint.  I work with brush and for this project I used paints Vallejo, of which I have very good impressions. Very well spill, cover and leave no traces of brush. As minus noticed that even sealed with varnish of Vallejo, after taking the decals, the water that has remained in them rises the paint and makes it as noodles. If any of you faced similar problem and found solutions to it I'll be giving thanks if you share. Followed by application of the decals. I used the default decals of Eduard, such as missing me for making the plane Rumey and red crest horse I print ot gelatin paper, which was very hard work. Finally, all sealed with two hands lacquer.
 Here are some pictures:



























Next step weathering.
You'll be glad of any advice, recommendations and constructive criticism of the project.

Best Regards
Hristo

most excellent modelling :) The paint looks like airbrushed and not hand brushed.
More pictures please

I'm mighty glad I found this. I too am building a hanger (roughly based on building #2 in your photos), and I believe the others are correct; those are overlapped corrugated metal panels on the building sides. I also now believe that the entire front of that building is covered with what appear to be vertical battens, so I'll be simulating this on my own hanger as well.

You've just achieved an incredible detailing level for 1/72 scale!! And the painting is particularly clean and well done. Udet's black D-V was one of my possible choices for the D-V I recently made, so I'm eager to see yours.

Thank you all for the kind words.
Glad you like my work on these amazing aircraft.
I started work on the black beauties of Udet.
I painted the base color and painted with white wings, with the idea to make pre- shading before laying the deck, but I still have not managed to do successfully tested it with the help of brush, so attempts in this direction continue .
For this I will be thanking you for any tips to achieve a good result.
Here are some pictures of my work so far:
