Thanks very much for all your very kind comments!
The swirls are Printscale decals. I have a problem however - I ordered two sheets - and I got two swirls sets but they are different. Despite the fact that both are Brumowski Camo - one is with yellow swirls - the good one, the other one is printed on purple paper. At the begining I thought the colour of the paper is different but after I tried it, it turned out that the quality is pretty bad - decals exploded during contact with water. To make the matter worse the swirls are reddish - which makes them unusable for the purpose of my model. I e-mailed Printscale and I`m awaiting their response. I hope they will send me another "good" sheet or it will be necessary to buy another one hoping that it will be the same - yellow. The first sheet is pretty good in my opinion.
what a super cool scheme! Still I think it would have looked even better if it was wood and linen :)
I agree if I have enough time in my life I will build another one with wood and linen finish  ;)
Best regards
Filip

Thanks!!!
In the meantime I called a number of stores to find out whether they have the Printscale decals I need and it turned out that it they have the sheets I perceive as incorrect  :( I was also informed that trying to get in touch with Printscale is a rather futile effort. Therefore I finally managed to order the last good one sheet from a store in Czech Republic - I hope it will turn out to be OK and I will be able to finish the model.
At the moment I have the most of the model in decals. I will provide some pics after the weekend...
Best regards

Hello again,
After my holidays in Greece I finally had some time to do modelling.
I have received 3 sets of the good swirls decals from Printscale - a good company indeed.
I`m trying to do some weathering but it`s really hard due to the colour.
This is what it looks like right now:



Best regards
Filip

Cheers! ;D
Red Baron, first I have ordered 2 sheets, from two different shops in Poland (after I realised that one isn`t enough I ordered the second one), they were different - one was just the same as yours - unusable and the second one was good. I e-mailed Printscale, because the good decals were unavailable in Poland and described the problem - they sent me the good decal sheet. Also they explained that after feedback from the modellers they corrected the colour.
Best regards
Filip

Thanks for your support gentlemen!
I have managed to put it all together - so I can finally see those beautiful lines of Albie D.III. Not so much work left...

Thank God for decals , I wouldn't want to have to paint on those swirls on . She is fantastic so far and a scheme I haven't seen done on Eduards kit .

Thank you very much for your way too kind comments!
I`m kind of in a quandary cause I have doubts concerning the nose of the plane - the disc : a friend of mine pointed out that it should be in natural metal colour - he said that there used to be an oil cooler. I have also read, that it was just the back of the spinner (and its mounting plate). Anyway what is your opinion - should it be like it is now - painted the same as the rest of the plane OR should I paint it natural metal colour?
Best regards
Filip
