WNW Albatros DV.a
« on: July 12, 2014, 01:47:26 AM »
Hi all,
 Here is my latest offering to the forum.
Using Bob's Buckles, Pheon's superb decals and I'm waiting for one of Doug Craner's marvelous props to finish her off.

Hope you like her.
Cheers,
Garry

Absolutely gorgeous, Gary!  I love those Bavarian schemes and you've done a superb job with this one.  Hopefully I'll get to see it first hand when I go to your shop in November.
Cheers,
Bud

Bud, I was lucky enough to see it first hand yesterday, and it is as good as the photos suggest. It's a really impressive  build,  Garry, well done!

Best wishes
Nigel

Another wonderful build and scheme. Those Bavarian markings are truly amazing but I suspect that they are difficult to put on. Very well done.

Very nice Albatros. To say it has a lovely colour scheme is obvious for almost any Albatros in fact. But this one truly has  ;) Congratulations on finishing such a lovely bird.

As well as the gorgeous Albatros, I like how you have done the base Garry.
