Albatros D.III Oeffag Eduard 1/48 Brumowski
« on: July 10, 2014, 09:43:09 PM »
Hello!
Not much time for either modelling and visting forum lately...
In order to keep me sane I started this one some time ago...
It`ll be Brumowski`s red Albie with sworls and skulls.
The engine is Karaya`s AD 200 - the original engine from this kit is now in my Lloyd. I think it was not a good idea the original engine is a little bit smaller and it took some work to correct the resin one - camshaft etc.
The compass is scratchbuilt - I have produced two - one for Gotha and one for Albie.

Thanks gentlemen for your most encouraging remarks! I have closed the fuselage, I`ll post the finished cockpit pics as soon as I spray her with primer. Thanks for looking!

Thanks RAGIII!!!
I`ve started to put the swirls decals. I`m going to use some chalks and oils to make get rid of that "artificial" look. I have my doubts concerning this scheme. The more I scrutinise the pics, the more convinced I am that this bird wasn`t red at all. From what I see in the pics, it seems that the swirls were painted over natural wood and linen surfaces...
But it looks more interesting the way it is now ;)

what a super cool scheme! Still I think it would have looked even better if it was wood and linen :)
Are those swirls decals?

Wow! Filip I have to join the chorus. That is a cool paint scheme!  I am also
wondering if the swirls are paint or decals.  It certainly is an attention grabber.
Great job, my friend.  I look forward to more updates.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Brilliant work: the interior details are truly very impressive. The markings are very unusual too - very striking. In all this is going to be a very interesting and unusual model.

Looking fantastic, Filip!  Are the swirls from Print Scale?
