jimmydel Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thought I'd share my latest completion. This is the excellent WnW Albatross. This was a 2014 Father's Day gift. I started in in November and finished last weekend. My first WnW kit and first WW1 build. I decided on this kit because I thought I owed it to myself to see what the hype was about with these kits. It's all justified. The best OOB decals I've ever used...by far. Rigged with EZ Line and Gastpatch turnbuckles. The woodgrain was done with oils. For my first WW1 I'm satisfied. There are some things I'd do differently next time around though. Thanks for looking! 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 First WWI kit but not your first ever model, some nice skill in that build, very nice indeed and I love the flambouyant colours of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Wow, that is one of the nicest Albatros builds I've seen, the woodgrain fuselage is outstanding and the subtle rib definitions on the wings look just right. Glad to see another modeller discovering the joys of WNW kits! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
