Hi all again,
after four years away from hobby i started Eduard's 1/48 Albatros last week. This kit is weekend edition, no PE parts and only one aircraft decal option. I will use kit's decals for markings and i will try to add some details from scratch.
Firstly i added some details on engine. I used copper wire for that. I will add more details later.



I made seatbelts with aluminium foil and copper wire.


Washing job did with ecoline paints. If washing result is teribble just clean with water, i love that paints.


For wood/plywood grain effect; i used oil paints on white base acry. paint.


And the final picture on the project so far :

Hi Rahmi:

You must have great eyesight to make those valve springs. Great job. The seat belt idea is neat and they look good.
Can you give a little background on the aircraft's markings, unit, pilot etc.
Thanks

Mark

Life is easy with this tool

Aircraft flown by Leutnant Bruno Loerzer Jasta 26, Westfront, Summer 1917
You can also find this paint scheme in Roden's 1/32 Albatros DIII
Thanks for comments

lovely work, I love the Loerzer scheme, I built Fok DVII in his markings, sriking but simple.

She looks really good, keep us posted...Oh and welcome back too

Welcome back , very nice build so far . You did a super job on the masking the bands , nice crisp lines ! Seatbelts look good as well . Looking forward to more progress on a neat scheme

I have to agree. You have a very nice build in progress. I love the scheme.
