SimonR Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi all, Fresh off the butchers block is this old SMER Albatros, its an 'interesting' kit, thought i'd use it to practice wood grain using oils that i've never used before, came out ok, in fact the kit scrubbed up ok with a bit of work. Did a bit of re-scribing, lots of sanding and a bit of scratch building, all good fun! So here it is: 1/48 SMER Albatros, Lt Werner Voss, June 1917 cheers Simon PS: dont suppose anyone has some spare decals for this kit as I damaged one of the heats? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Given the kit you had to work with, that's a real testament to your skills. Excellent little model! Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 That looks superb, lovely work. These older aircraft seem to be much more of a challenge to look good, but this reproduction of such an iconic machine has really achieved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonR Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Cheers Pat! Yes, a fellow BM'er supplied the decal so now all done! Funnily enough just returned from a week in the Somme, mix of beach & a few days in the battlefield, breathtaking place, sad and inspiring all in one! Hope alls well with you! cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
