Rick that really does look the part. Funny isn't it how all those final touches seem to take so long... so near to completion but not quite yet!

Truly magnificent work, Amigo! Not only are you the King of Stripey Aircraft, but also the Albatros King! With each one you build, you're drawing me closer to building one of my own.
Cheers,
Bud

She's looking sweet, Rick! And I'm still learning on what-to-do-when from this build.

Thanks Gaz. My order of doing things is most often dictated by 2 factors:
1. Stuff I will knock off is added last
2: Stuff I forgot to do is even later

Going on that theme Bo and Bertl are the Gods. Yourself and some others are Demi Gods, I am certainly in the Mere Mortal category

That being said I forgot to comment on your inspiration to do an Albie in 1/32nd. Go for it. Having seen what you did in 1/48th I would be thrilled to see a DV done to your standards!!!!
