Albatros B.II (early) - 1/32 by Wingnut Wings
« on: April 07, 2016, 06:18:14 PM »
Hello,

here are the pictures of the finished Albastros B.II (early-version) in scale 1/32 by Wingnut Wings. It is the newest kit from the New Zealand brand and it is a fantastic release. One of their best kits until now in my eyes.
Despite of the rigging material - everything you need is included in the kit. Wooden decals (used and worked on with several oil colours), different optional parts for 5 different versions. Optional wheels (closed rims, spoke wheels (plastic spokes), spoke wheels (etched wheels)) and lot of more.

I have built it OOP without any upgrade stuff, only some turnbuckles from Gaspatch Models and EZ-Line used for the rigging.



































Cheers
Micha

That B.II is truly stunning, Michael!  I love the fabric surfaces and, of course, the wood looks awesome.
Cheers,

Simply gorgeous. The kit may be very good but it took some real skill to make it look as good as you have done.

Hi Micha, great looking model. You've done an excellent job with the overall look, with superb weathering and enhancement of the doped canvas.
Cheers,
Gary
