A quite interesting exercise to show variations in rib tape colors, a wooden fuselage or a silver doped Alby. Very nice collection and beautiful models.

Thanks again, everyone!  Yes, modeling Udet's machines allows a variety of finishes for each type.
Just about to call this one a wrap.  Working on the pennants now and a few little things and then I'll get better photos.

Drew, That is a very well done Udet Albie! Your series build is really terrific! As a modeler who likes to build collections I appreciate the theme you have going!

Last couple for tonight:  the leader's pennants made from aluminum foil and colored with Sharpies.  I draped the left side one over the tailplane to hide a paint glitch I couldn't fix  :)

And the prop factory, each grained slightly differently.  Painted with Radome tan, then masked and sprayed with red-brown Tamiya acrylics.  Lightly overcoated with raw sienna oil for woodgrain and Future to seal them.
