Repainted Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Here’s some pics of my work on the Roden Albatros DIII in 32-scale. I´ve started up the build, but then stopped when I heard that Eduards was realising the etchset for this one. So now is the time to take this one up. I don´t like Rodens seat so a new one was made from Plasticard and Milliput. The engine was detailed up with some wires and new rockers. That has become some standard on these engines now. The engine was painted in Humbrol polish metals, and with some light buffing it came out nice. The first test mock-up of the cockpit and fuselage. The wooden paint is done in oilpaint. The Spandau´s is something extra with the Eduard stuff on it. The set from them just lift the guns to the heaven. The fuselage halves are glued together and some minor fillings are done before the prep for the paint, next is the wings, witch needs some ribtapes and relocated radiator. I will go for Spadas decals of Werner Voss DIII and I´ve maybe throw in that lovely figure Mike Good sculpted for us modellers. Lars Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan Broadbent Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 That is so good, Lars! The more I see of these 1/32 kits the more I'm being tempted away from 1/48 - but the stash of them is so big..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repainted Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi Folks I got some work done on the Albatros DIII. The fuselage and wing have got its last fillings and sanding. Some small etched pieces from Eduard are in place. Next step is to put on a coat of light brown on the fuselage. Then painting the wood is coming. I’m doing that in oil’s so there will be some time for the DIII to dry up. Until next update Cheers Lars Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
