"Some Say He Walked Away" Albatros Diorama.

I titled this piece following an experience in an aircraft crash myself where I was the only survivor.It is from an old pilot's saying after surviving a crash such as this.But unfortunately you never walk away from something like this, you always leave a little piece of yourself behind.

I would recommend that you start with the Jenny and then the Albatros.The Jenny is their best kit and I have built it twice.It is the most complete with the best instructions.It too is a WW1 airplane and most Canadians and Americans trained on it.It also has a great post-war record.Next would be the Albatros but when I built it there was some serious issues with the metal such as the undercarriage supporting the airplane.Yours may be the newer version.Anyway good luck.Cheers! John.

Thank you so much.I worked on these dioramas for about 17 years beginning at age of 60.I am 77 now and enjoyed every minute of it.

Holy sh*t I did it ! now if I can remember how that will be great.Thanks Harv.

Could someone please give me an idea as to how I post pics to this forum.I'm 77 now and I forgot.John.No luck with Photobucket.
