Hello all,
Here are some pictures of my Albatros D.Va, from Revell, project. Well known model for all of you, i presume.

Belts are made from Tamiya masking tape and some wire.

Just before closing fuselage...

See you soon ...

You're off to an excellent start on what I'm sure will be a beautiful model, Pedja! I have a couple of these in my stash, so I will be following with great interest.
Cheers,
Bud

Small progress with this model. I´m trying to achieve different wood texture on this albatros fuselage. Still some panels to paint.

Final coat,before decals, should be Gunze transparent yellow.

Very nice progress and an interesting and time consuming way to threat each panel separately. Just before you seal this great work: Albatrosses had their wood grain all horizontal, not vertical.

Nice execution but yeah grain should all be horizontal. Same technique but change up the direction?

I really like the effect you are on the right path and I hope its not to late for you . If so , there is always the next one

What markings are you doing ?

I am with Terri on this one. I like the subtle graining , especially in 1/48th scale, and the various shades on the panels. As for the direction of the grain if it were mine I would call it good and if you build another do the grain in one direction. Really looks great!

Hello again ,first of all ,I want to thank you all for sugestions and support. I know,now, what are the mistakes on my model, but i decided not to make any changes at this stage.
As for the current progress, fuselage (at least "wooden" parts" and oils) is over. Here are some pictures:
