Apparently I ordered this 45 minutes ago, the guys I work with found me in the staff room dancing on the table and making aeroplane noises....... I don't remember any of it!  ;D

The actual prototype is still hanging in "The Arsenal" in Vienna to this day.





Another great release from WNW! :) :)

I do like the woodgrain decals, if nothing else they make a great set of templates to cut your own from all the AM options out there

very very very very cool,this is a release after me own heart, (german/2 seats/wood/linen/early war/no prior 1/32 kit) which means it meets all my hopes for a wnw release. absolutely love it. and its added to the list of must have wnw kits.the only thing i find upsetting about this release is the b.ii means there wont be a c.i by wnw which is my favorite 2 seat albatros. the c.i was designed to be an armed replacement for the b.ii . they look the practically the same when viewed from a distance but a review of the plans shows slight size and dimensional differences.

Nice... well nice doesnt do it justice

SWMBO ordering as I type. Now for the wait & check every day on ParcelForces Tracker to see if it gets here before Xmas.  How coud I resist, from the images the level of detail seems incredibly good. And its an Albatros!  ;)

Wood grain decals are a really nice option as are some of the other optional decals & parts. Clearly a lot of thought and idea's from feedback has gone into this.

So happy I was wrong about christmas release :D

last years ago I saw this beauty in Krakow aviation museum for first time and then in Vienna shortly after that... remember that moment when I for split of second imagined how it was done by wnw... I guess It is better than I even imagined!!! ;)

Fantastic aircraft!!!!
