Roden's Albatros D.III Completed

Richard,

   Thank you! 

 

Seems I'm bitten by the Great War bug.  I'll be jumping into an Albatros D.Va from WNW.   But...  my darling wife just gave me a gift card from my LHS...

And last time I was there, they had a Roden Albatros D.I and a Roden Albatros D.II.  So I'll be keeping a WWI build in parallel with all of my other WWII aircraft and armor builds.  When I was in my 20's I dreamed of building models of Albatros fighters as I love their sleek yet old-fashioned shapes.  But without the internet, I never even knew if any existed back in the 1980's.  Now I can make up for lost time.

Gaz, she turned out to be a stunner!

Your efforts and dedication really paid off although i take it you feel not completely satisfied. This is a challenging kit and you did a swell of a job with it. You'll see how the wnw dva will be a walk in the park for you!

Thanks for the enjoyable and informative work in progress buddy!

Guys,

   Thank you for your kindnesses.  They are definitely very motivating!

 

Karim,

    Your amazing builds and shared techniques are quite responsible for getting me to plunge back into biplanes.  My first biplane, two years ago, turned out pretty badly but I keep it around as a reminder.  I'm sure I'm not the only person you've inspired.
