Umlaufmotor Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Almost finished, only the engine cowling and the coolant pipe from the engine up to the wing radiator are still missing. I hardly dare to write - the Albatros was started to be built sometime in 2009. 14 1
BlrwestSiR Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 How big is your workbench that you can fit a 1:1 scale plane on it?!!!. Truly stunning work there. 5
Bomber_County Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 ######## me.............that’s gorgeous............... 5
DocRob Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 It took a while, but time was well spent . Thanks for sharing this jewel. I will store your pics as an inspiration for my recently acquired 'Wooden Wonder' Cheers Rob 5

I hardly dare to write - the Albatros was started to be built sometime in 2009. Very nice Albatros. And don’t worry about the long time. I still have an unfinished Aichi Hansa (a Hispano-powered, Japanese licence-built, W-29). I started scratchbuilding it in 2008, BEFORE WnW launched its kit, and also before it went OOP with WnW Hubert 5

It’s a nice kit, not without its fault, but it turns out into a nice result everytime I have seen one finished. The AM I bought can contribute to making it even more stunning. I was thinking of kitbashing it with the Revell kit to correct the slightly too blunt wing-root radiators, and the Revell kit is a (free) part of my package If i can remember where I put it, I will add the Tasman vac-form transparencies, I KNOW I have, but where ? And there is no beating the slender looks of a glass-nosed Mossie Hubert Thanks Hubert, your asking price of € 135 is an acceptable price, but could you calculate how much boxing it all up and shipping to Sydney Australia would cost? if its not excessive I'll most likely take you up on the sale. many Regards Iain 2
Bomber_County Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 That does not look like a Mossie in any shape or form.... 3

There is a bit of engine work on the Mossie occurring, but I just have been having fun with the Albatross. And, I need to practice so new wood techniques for my Mosquito..... 5
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted June 9, 2020 Administrators Posted June 9, 2020 That Albatros is easily the nicest example I've ever seen. I actually thought I was looking at a TVAL 1:1 reproduction!! 6

BlrwestSiR Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 Moved my bench outside and got out the power tools. Going to start the WIP shortly. 4
Martinnfb Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 Hmmm, me like power tools The Academy kit just fills together, truly outstanding little kit. I built Italeri kit long time ago and wasn't super happy with it. Academy hits the spot perfectly, decent detail simple assembly. Fast and easy. 4
