Luftstreitkräfte Albatross W4
One of my last builds for 2021 was a 1/72 Roden Albatross W4, not a bad build but like most Roden kits I pinned the wings and made new struts to make it better for wargame handling! I opted for the simple brown natural and unpainted canvas wings, the transfers were again a problem being oversized for the kit. I painted them with varnish then cut to size.

perfect paint and decal job.
ReplyDeleteCheers Norm, I am particularly happy with this one. A little delicate so I must be careful when handling.

You’ve certainly had a flurry of toys to end the year with Matt…
ReplyDeleteI’ve always liked the Albatross… I had an Airfix kit as a lad and I have seen a 1:1 replica when I visited New Zealand a number of years ago.
The simple paint finish really shows the plane off rather well.
All the best and a happy new year… Aly
Yes my favourite the D3 in particular, I have often dreamed about building one as a full scale model, not sure that the wife would be happy about that though.
DeleteAll the best wishes for 2022 mate, and hopefully we can get though another year of this pandemic unscathed.
Cheers

Gorgeous Matt. You produced a fine set of these First World War planes in quick time last year. Most impressive.
