Wingnut Wings 1/32 Albatros D.V


Recommended Posts

Here is my latest Wingnut Wings kit. Apart from replacing the anemometer with one from Gaspatch models and using some of their turnbuckles it is pretty well straight out of the box.

Rigged with fishing line and painted with Tamiya and Misterkit paints.

Brilliant job, please tell me that is a wooden prop!

Thanks but it is just paint. Tamiya XF-59 and Polyscale Nato Tri Brown with burnt Sienna oil paint on top to create the grain effect. Quite effective I think.

Very nice. What's the gizmo on the cockpit combing? Rear view mirror?

Correct, it is a (not very shiny ) mirror. I may have to give it another go and maybe glue some silver foil onto it to make it more convincing.

Very nicely done indeed, she's gorgeous!

@airgunner - go for it, nothing to be scared of. Start with something like a Fokker D.VII or DR.I with very little rigging and you'll soon be hooked!
