Quiet Mike Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Looking forward to this one. I have an Eduard Albatros on the shortlist of next kits to build, this may bump it to the top! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marklo Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Lovely build. For natural plywood like that I’d usually use desert yellow as the base, scumble or spray with a wood grain stencil (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/rb-productions-rb-t028-wood-1-airbrush-stencil--553544) with some flat earth then coat it with clear orange.
