Wdedig Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Completed Today 2 December. This is a replacement Aircraft for model Donated to the NEAM in Hartford Conneticut. They have a great Kosciuszko Display 1/48 Eduard Profipack with minor modifications to create correct Polish Version. Decals are from ModelMaker in Poland(they were fantastic). Painted with Gunze paints and Sworl Decals are from Aviattic (they were a pleasure to apply). Rigging is a mix of materials. Uschi line for support wires,Ceramic wire for Control rods and front Braces. Also used Bobs Buckles from England for connection points(great products and service). Final Coating is GX100 Clear and I am Happy with the Gloss look of the Model Thanks for Looking and Comments are always welcome Cheers Bill 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Wonderful finish! The 'camouflage' looks like the wallpaper in my grandparents living room (they passed away in the sixties). Must have been fun to decorate the Albatros like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 My favourite Albatri are the Oeffag built versions, and this one is a stunner. Beautifully made and those sworl decals look fantastic. I've got a few of these kits in the stash so I'm going to need ta take a look at the Aviattic website! Cheers John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thanks all I have heard the Sworl material was actually wallpaper. Who would have though. Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dyck Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Yes you made a gem out of it . Okay the camouflage is a little getting used to. Maybe the painter man was on a LSD trip🤭 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

303sqn Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 It’s a printed fabric made by Viennese company Joh. Backhausen & Söhne. Before WW I they manufactured fabric for furniture. Their designs were very avant garde, like Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 This is beautifully done! Love the fabric (decals) on the wing, they laid down perfectly and I was looking at the spoke wheels and they are amazing. I have never been brave enough to attempt wire wheels but now I think I have to give it a try. Appreciate you posting this, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdedig Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thank you all very much for the kind words. This Squadron is a passion of mine and I am quite happy for the Albatross results. Working on a Resin Karaya Ansaldo Ballia and she is quite a challenge. Thanks Again Cheers Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
