Thank you Chris, Roden kits realy like a lottery. I have 3 Roden Albatros kits, one of them has warped upper wing, one of warped fuselage.
Thank you Martin!

Painted the fuselage before painting plywood effect with oil paints. Tamiya XF-59+%10 white

I painted the first layer of the plywood effect with oils.

You have done exceptional work on the engine and the cockpit interior. The wood effect you have applied looks extremely good, this is shaping up to be a real gem.

Hello gentlemen,
I just read here:

that wood fiber were always longitudinally to support flying effort.
Good painting.
Best regards.

Your plywood work, especially the colors is outstanding! As for the direction of the ply I tend to agree that it runs one direction. That being said the panels done the other way add interest and could be considered artistic license. I Love what you are doing with this kit. Makes me want to take a look at my Encore DII or Roden OAW DIII!

Thanks a lot!
RAGIII and Alain, i thank you too for point at direction of fibers. Oil paints curing time nearly 3 weeks. I fixed them before too late ;)





Cheers!

Good start on the woodworking, Rahmi. :D  I've been putting off
thoughts of making a woodsheathed model and I will be following
your build closely to see how it is done.  Thanks for sharing your
work!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
