Glencoe 1:48 Albatros DIII - Werner Voss.

Post by Russ72 »

So here's how it ended up. From the last update on the build thread I realised I hadn't added plumbing for the radiator or a windscreen. The windscreen was cut out of some packaging I had kicking around.

It's a little rough, but so am I, with a laundry list of things that could have been done better, or may not be completely accurate. Some of the parts placement in the instructions were more a suggestion than a directive, I could have done more research to correct this, but what the hey. I was not looking for anything more than how it turned out.

I bought this one when I first joined ISM, specifically for this build, from then to now I've learnt that there are kits that should be avoided. This kit isn't amongst the top brands available, but it was good to have a play with, knowing that if I had stuffed it up I wouldn't have done so with an expensive kit.

My first try at rigging, using Ezi Line, had me on the border of frustration, but it all turned out okay.

All said and done I had a lot of fun trying out different tips and techniques I've learnt over the last 9 months.

Cool stuff! Great looking kit, even though I'm not a real WWI fan myself, all these posts on all the WWI biplanes and stuff look cool, nice detailing! :cheers2:

Cheers Mate. It's good to give them a try. BNA Modelworld had the Eduard Weekend Edition WW1 planes half price a week or so ago.
