Last winter I only finished two models, while I started more. Here is a Alb DV, thoug I must notice that

Nicely done Udet bird! One of the more unusual schemes with the overall aluminum dope!

   Nicely done Giuseppe. This and your Nieuport are truly eye catchers with their aluminum finishes. Is the finish metallic paint or enamels?
Cheers,

Thanks, the nieuport is tamiya matt aluminium over buff, the albaross is a mix of matt aluminium and gloss white 50/50 %.

Flaws? Where? All I can see is a first class model with a super metallic finish. Excellent modelling - many congratulations.

I like your plane. It is different to the other mostly colourful Albatros. So the scheme makes it very intresting.
