Viking Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Albatros D.Va (OAW)1:32 Wingnut Wings. Uschi van der Rosten woodgrain, and MDC figures. The Albatros D.V was one of the most widely used German single seat fighters of the First World War. The D.Va featured re-arranged aileron controls and a minor brace at the bottom of the interplane 'V' struts. OAW manufactured a strengthened version (which was also heavier) which is the kit featured here. Build straight from the box from Option A, but with a couple of 'Wings Cockpit' figures from MDC and the addition of woodgrain decals from Uschi van der Rosten. This is my first try at using these woodgrain decals, and I am very pleased with the results. Applying them is a slow task, explained in the WIP thread here. 4 months in building, so on with the photos; A beautiful kit to build, so much so that I wondered what to do next. So I bought another one! With Pheon Decals review set to go on it, another wooden beauty will be on its way! Thanks for looking, John 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Stunning as usual John. The figures certainly add to the realism. The first picture is one of the most atmospheric I've seen for a long time. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamB Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Very, very good job on this. Only one thing - check the angle of your 'turnbuckles' - should be in line with the wires. Tricky to get right but not impossible. Cheers GrahamB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
