Really eyecatching livery, and the overall look is great.

Thank you, Gentlemen!
Just an update before I go under the knife. Just a minor procedure... nothing to worry about as long as I don't get a secondary infection... Just a navel hernia.

Anyway...here she is:

After failing to fit the original lines I rigged, I tried stretched sprue. The sprue didn't work because it got permanent bend marks in it from the action of fitting it. In the end I used new pieces of fishing line to put the four cables in.

Thank you for looking!

Thats a wonderful Albatros in one of the prettiest color schemes that I know. Outstanding and even more for a first WNW kit!

Gorgeous work! I know from your post in the Hints and Tips section that you had a little trouble with breaking struts and dihedral! You have certainly overcome those issues! You are now officially one step further along on your build than me in that you have the Aileron control Lines rigged

Thank you for your kind replies, everyone!

I'll have to let her sit until I can bend and contort easily. Just back from my surgery and am contemplating how to build without breaking stitches.

Lovely build

Wishing you a speedy recovery
