1/72 Eduard Albatros D.V.
« on: November 07, 2016, 02:10:31 PM »
Well, I guess that I'll call this one done. A few things not quite right, but I'll move on for now. It was a learning experience as well as quite a bit of fun. Once again, thanks so much for the kind words & encouragement along the way!

I can't find anything "not quite right", Steve.  She's absolutely stunning!  Super craftsmanship all 'round.
Cheers,

As Bud said, I don't know what's not quite right, but I think it's gorgeous.

Chapeau!

Don't often look at 1/72 Steve as it's not my thing but this is exceptional- looks like 1/32 and that is a very hard thing to achieve!

I'm half tempted....

Such a stunning build and great workmanship. It could easily be 1/32 such is the attention to detail you've achieved

Steve,
   Like everyone else I can't get my mind around the fact that this is 1:72 Scale! The detail, quality of finish and overall impact of this Model are striking, congratulations on a truly beautiful Build. This is a real tribute to your skills and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Cheers,
Lance

Just beautiful. One of the best Albatros models I have seen, not only in 72nd scale. Detailing, wood, staining, finish, all top class. Great to see it and I hope for more of your models to come soon.

What can I add? Certainly I had to check the scale that this is not 1/32. I do not think I have seen an Albatros (or many other 1/72 scale models) that could hold a candle to this. Fantastic and many congratulations.
