What a fine brace of war worn Albatri. Great modelling! Congratulations, Dave.

Very cool display!

WOW Dave! Both are beautiful, and done "dirtied up" exactly as I prefer them. That's a pair of models to be very proud of, you've done some really superior work here!
Cheers,
Lance

Great Job, Dave! I mostly like the Stropp Albatros.

Obviously a lot of thought has gone into the weathering and wear and tear of these two. Nice models.

Cheers

Those are nice builds! Did you use oil paints to get the wood effects?
