Just put the wraps on this . Ca'nt say enough great things about this kit,one of the best I've ever built. Fit and finish is top notch and the instruction booklet even has actual reference pictures included. The decals laid down very nicely and accepted the Walthers Solvaset blending into the details perfectly. I finished it with model master enamels and topcoated it with Testors Dulcote.


the photo etch gun covers are a nice upgrade included in the kit

the interior is well stocked but not too complicated,again the fit was perfect

Beautiful Trey, it looks superb , a very crisp ,precise build. Ive read great things about the wingnuts stuff and if you're into WW1 stuff they are the ultimate kits . Sounds like you really enjoyed this one , great job , cheers tony

I've always been scared of WW1 stuff, or anything with rigging wires to fit! You've done a great job on this and it looks superb, and, despite its rather disappointing performance at the time, surprisingly 'modern' for something flying less than 15 years after the first flight of the Wright Flyer.


I like the paint job too. Whilst not my paint of choice I've used a few from the Modelmaster range and found them sympathetic to use. You've certainly achieved a lovely finish on this.


Cheers


Steve

I have seen some great builds of the Wingnut kits, and this is another one of those. Terrific work on this Trey. Love the colour scheme.

Nice to see you back posting Trey and what a build to come back with it looks fantastic. I've never built a Wingnuts kit but heard nothing but good stuff about them. Cracking build again

Brilliant Trey,


I've only read good things about these kits and will have to treat myself one day.

Stunning work Trey. The cockpit detail and paint finish are top drawer. Your verdict on the kit only makes me want to build mine more (I have the same Albatros DVa in the stash) and I can only hope mine turns out as good as this.


Am I right in thinking that you have a restrained wood effect on the prop? If so, it is excellent - subtle and very, very authentic.


At the moment I'm working on the 2 Fokker Dr.1s I started an eon ago in the WW1 GB. They're Roden kits and, though probably not up to Wingnut Wings standard, are pretty good.


This is great work Trey and I hope this isn't your last great war build.


Cheers


Paul

Thanks Monica,yes sadly the details get buttoned up,however at least the 2 engine covers can be removed.


Steve thank you,yes I read up on its less than stellar performance ,also was plagued with lower wing failures as well.


Polux,Doug,Graham, thanks


Thanks Ian ts good to be back,my rc builds have taken a huge chunk out of my plastic bashing ,but I'm juggling my hobbies best I can


Colin thank you


Paul thanks for the kind words,yes I toned down the wood effect a bit. Actually the kit has 4 different props so I painted them all and this was the pick of the litter. Looking forward to seeing yours built! The Roden kits are good and build out nicely ,they just take a little more effort than the Wingnut kits.


Si, Dave thank you both

A beautiful looking Albatros you've achieved there Trey. Museum quality looking build. Wingnut models website has a few familiar names.

Excellent looking model. However, rigging scares me as well as some of the others above. I may give it a shot some day, but for now I will leave these types of kits in the more capable hands of others, like yourself.
