Well, my friends, I've finally gotten around to taking more photos of this one, so here they are.  One of the easiest builds in recent years.














Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers,
Bud

Wow, Bud!  I think you meant to say you MAKE it look easy!  ;) ;)

Truly a lovely finish.  You can't have too many Abatros-es (Like Spitfire-es)...

Thanks, Dan!  Although I have built a couple Oeffags, this is my first German Albatros, and I'm beginning to realize how true your statement is.  I'll be building a few more soon.  (You see how I managed to construct my response to avoid the plural of Albatroses...Albatri...Albatrosen?  Dammit!)

The wood on the fuselage made me think that you had used real wood! The remainder of the model is just exceptional - if you build more Albatrossen like this one you will have a collection to be really envious of. Splendid modelling in every way.

Lovely build. I'm partial to those early machines and you've done them justice with this one.

Thank you, Marc!  You're right.  When I look back at my first WWI builds, about 8 years ago, they look so rough by comparison.  I attribute my growth to all I learned from my fellow modelers here and on the 'drome.
Cheers,
Bud
