Very nicely done Brad, the wood effect looks excellent and your decal application, even though you experienced issues, turned out looking superb.

Brad,
I can not say it any better than Des! Just awesome as always!

I love everything about this build especially the tone of the blue on the nose,you can almost see the wood under the paint.Totally realistic creating a sense of distance.Bravo!

Dear me, Brad. It is my favourite D.III Oef colour scheme! Spectacular work on wood, shading, metal, all around actually. And as usual, seeing your models is such an inspiration. Even though I have build the same version some years ago, I feel I should redo it to make it look at least half as good as yours.

Absolutely great job on this one Brad!!! The woodgrain is spectacular as well as other aspects of your work. I agree with Przemo - one of the most interesting and beautiful schemes for Oef. D.III - since my great- grandfather defended Lwów during the war with Bolsheviks.
Best regards

Definitely great work. I love the fading of colors and the weathering.

Thanks folks! 

Prez - nice albatros!  I may or may not have used your scheme as part of my reference material  ;)

Just a side note, this one is very very close to completion.  Should have some finished pics up soon.

Thanks again
