Karl Bolle's Albatros D.III by Roden and me
« on: March 22, 2018, 05:36:12 PM »
HI everyone,
    My second completed biplane, and I'm glad to be done with it.  One notable omission is the windshield.  I meant to add it before putting on the wings, but forgot about it until it was too late and my patience was gone.

I learned a lot about building a biplane with this kit, mostly regarding pinning the struts and when to think about pinning the struts.  And most importantly, look at as many photo resources as you can Before You start building.

Without further ado, here are the photos:


















Thank you for looking!

    You've done a terrific job on this one Gaz, it's not the easiest Kit out there! That rich "honey" tone you achieved on the natural wood is a very nice touch. Now, treat yourself (and your patience index) to nice Wingnut Wings Build.
Cheers,

....erm yes! I could do with following that advice........

That is a model of which I would be extremely proud. I agree with Lance that the wood fuselage is splendid indeed. Congratulations on keeping your patience to the end - it was well worth it IMHO.
