kensar Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I present my Albatros D.III here. I wanted to build a subject that has a lot of woodgrain, as I wanted to try wood grain decals. The Albie was a natural choice, but I couldn't decide which one to depict, so I decided to make a factory fresh bird, hence, minimal weathering and bright colors. I scratchbuilt the wheels and the prop and added numerous other details. The base depicts a factory floor. I hope you enjoy the pictures, and comments and criticisms are welcome. Having trouble posting pictures, so I'll try to add more later. alain11, Cicciuzzo, florin13 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europapete Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Very good detail, awesome woodgrain and those wheels are fantastic. But what happened to the wings? The top wing should be straight, and the lowers should have some dihedral. Regards, Pete in RI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensar Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yes the wing is warped. Something I didn't really notice until it was too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Absolutely outstanding model, and the wheels are works of art, thanks for persevering and posting the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It's an easy fix. Get a couple of Officer type figures and a couple of mechinics, the Officers would be holding a sheet of plans and pointing to somewhere on the 'plane, and the mechanics would have say, a measuring stick and a few tools posed as if adusting the rigging. Regards, Pete. ps, looking at the pics again, you really have done a nice job. The more one looks, the more fine details one notices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It looks really impressive! Nice work with the rigging and turnbuckles as well. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
