ALBATROS D.V - EDUARD 1/72
« on: June 15, 2012, 10:07:36 PM »
Hello friends, this is the Albatros DVa from Eduard in 1/72 scale.
Out of the box, automotive painting, wethering done with
oil paints to canvas diluted with turpentine.
Fuselage decal made ​​in inkjet printer.
Rigging made ​​with surgical thread 6.0.
The engine is very poorly done.
This is probably my last job in 1/72 scale ...  :-\
From now on, only the Wingnut Wings 1/32 scale...  ;D ;D ;D
Hope you enjoy.
And thank you in advance your comments.

Incredible, Afonso!  The masking is sharp and crisp.  Something that is extremely difficult in 1/48 scale and next to impossible in 1/72 scale.  Fantastic work all around.
Cheers,
Bud

Wow another outstanding project my friend. Beautifully painted and decaled too. A special tip of the hat for this little gem in 1/72 scale.
Highest Regards,

Wonderful model.

My constant fails with 1/72 Albatros is what made me step up to 1/48. (Thrown 3 away now, just started a 1/48 Revell boxing of the Eduard D.V   If it comes out half as good as your 1/72 I'll be a happy bunny.)
