Blasphemy! 

Just kidding, the world would be very boring indeed if everybody had the same taste!

Very, very nice, indeed. It may be taken by some of you as a blasphemy, but I do not especially like Albatros scouts. Yet, this black one has something to herself... Lovely!
One question - how have you done those covers of inspection holes? Dedicated PE? Scratch?

PrzemoL,
   The covers/doors are from the Eduard Alb. DIII P. Etch Detail set. I bent the hinge portion at the desired angle and CA'd them in place. The TVAL replicas show a hinged support mechanism (like a hinged arm) on the inside of the doors however I could not find any evidence of those on the very few photos I had of the real item, so I elected to leave them off.
Cheers,
Lance

Beautiful Work Lance, she turned out just sweet as a nut.  (which means wonderful) Fantastic attention to the litle things that make a build special.

All those little trials and setbacks now can be forgotton

ALL,
   Thanks so much for all the very nice words. It's very encouraging to get positive feedback and compliments, especially from those whose work you take as an inspiration for your own.
Cheers,
