Another Eduard Albatros
« on: March 04, 2016, 02:17:33 AM »
Hello!  After my hindrances (children) were born, I could not find time to do this hobby. I am definitely contemplating getting back into it though! It has been over 10 years since I made this so please forgive my memory.

This is my Eduard Albatros in 1/48 scale. I believe it was the profipak version. Eaglestrike lozenge decals. The propeller is wood made by  Marty Digmayer. Heat stretched fishing line was used for the wires. I know I put more into the cockpit and engine that can't be seen. I wish I could remember more to tell you! Thanks for looking. I have never shown or posted any of my planes before. I always considered myself a mediocre builder. But it was fun to do.












*EDIT* THANKS FOR THE PHOTOBUCKET TIP!

That is a beautifully done Albatros! Lovely wood tones and the Lozenge and tapes look excellent!

You have done a brilliant job with this model, the wood effect is excellent and the rigging turned out very well.

A 10 year old build that sits among some of the best I've seen.
I think you're far from mediocre.  :)

Mediocre?? Anything but! She's a real beauty, well done. I'd say a return to the Hobby would be a very natural second step after this! Thanks for sharing this.
