Albatros D.II Oeffag s.53 - Roden 1/72
« on: May 20, 2014, 09:23:44 PM »
Hi
This is my recently finished Albatros D.II. I did not use any addons, made it straight out of box. It is the first model on which I tried to make wood texture. It was not as dificult as I suspected. Decals of this kit were very tough, even paint thinner was hardly able to soften them (Microscale SOL and SOL were useless).

All looks perfect wood texture and fabric painting.

I have it in my stash, I'm planning to do it soon.

Adam.

I am very glad to meet my countryman, building WW1 aircraft in my favourite 72nd scale, and to such quality! A very nice pure wood-linen-bare metal model. Congratulations, Piotr. I am looking forward to see more of your models soon.

Gorgeous model Piotr!  It looks much larger than 1/72. ;)  Outstanding craftsmanship.

Cheers,

Truly magnificent work, Piotr!  Your wood grain and fabric weathering, shading and translucency are top notch.  As others have said, she looks much larger than 1/72 scale.  I did Oeffag 53.05, Anny, a little while back in 1/48 scale.  Yours looks like it could be parked next to mine in a diorama.
Cheers,
Bud

Outstanding work and in God's Own Scale makes this even more remarkable. This could easily have been 1/48 scale. Your wood and bare metal finishes are most realistic. Many congratulations.

Piotr,

Well done!  I think the wood turned out just great.  VERY realistic!

What paint did you use for the fabric?  I am trying to find a good color for my Albatros D.I and it looks like you nailed it.

Welcome and post more... ;) ;)
