A beautiful looking Albatros Michael, the wood work, painting and the rigging are all very well executed, the figure is also well done and compliments the aircraft.

Michael,

it looks like the stick is centered although the ailerons are deflected? :o

Nice build!  What was your approach to the wood grain?

What a stunning model! Excellent all round - I wholly agree with Des about the wood - very realistic indeed.
