Eduard 1/48 Albatros D.V Udet

The first of my tri-build of Udet's Albatros D.Vs.  Eduard's 1/48 kit with lengthened landing gear, Barracuda wheels, and lots of scratch bits. Overall finish is Vallejo Aluminum.

That is a gorgeous looking Albatros Drew, the scheme you used is superb and the finish on this model, including the rigging, is excellent.

I tolld you in the other How I like this model, congratulation!
Perhaps an historical contextualization of the pilot and the plane ?

I agree with what others have already said - great work, well done.

Your added streamers are a very nice touch.
