Die Blaue Maus: 1/32 Albatros DIII

[mgunns]

Great job on the DIII Bob: 

The scheme is very eye catching.  I know what you mean about masking the stripes, I did the Albatros DIII in the candy stripe scheme!  Quite a task so I appreciate the effort of painting the black and white, I also noticed the fine pin striping on the very edges, a nice touch and nice attention to detail.

I love that scheme, youve replicated it rather well. I may have to buy another d.iii for this very scheme.

Very nice indeed! Interesting scheme. And it is great to see something not-WNW-ish in 32nd scale, especially when built to such a high standard. Congratulations!

Excellent job, Bob.

I've built a couple of these kits so I know what you mean regarding assembly.  Yours is a very neat job and I note you have a very good fit between front cowling, prop and spinner - an area where I always seemed to end up with an uneven gap here. 

Really like the unusual colour and markings too.

Regards

Dave

I agree completely with Dave! really clean and Neat assembly! I Love the scheme. Very well done

She's one beautiful D.III my friend. Congratulations on an outstanding build,your skill and craftsmanship really shine. I do have to ask though what blue did you use,very pleasing shade.

Thanks Greg!  I used Misterkits Albatros Pale Blue.  I think it's really intended for the undersurfaces of Albatri, but it matched the Osprey color profile for the Frommhertz D.III, so I used it.  My first experience with Misterkits paint, and it airbrushed on very well.

Regards,

Bob

   Bob,
Thanks for the paint tip my friend. My experience to date with the Misterkit paints is limited to the French colors. I thin them with Future and they do spray very well.
