One of the most impressive efforts in the Aeroscale WNW Group Build. Another gem in your crown Brad! Model On!

Here is his build thread.

Don't know about anyone else, but if my models turned out 10% of Brad's i would be happy, he is a true master! and hope some of his expertise rub off on the rest of us.

I recently decided to move up a scale, to 1/32. One of the reasons for the decision was the advent of these Wing Nut WWI kits.

Stunning build Brad, I particularly like the masking of the checks. I can't wait to get hold of one of these kits.

I have tried to produce paint masks for lezenge fabric but I have been stumped as to how to make a viable product. With these models in 1/32 scale maybe it's time to re-visit this?

Brad
I just wanted to let you know that your Albatros D.Va is freak'n awesome.
I build armor and figures and produce resin figures for a living and heavily thinking about a new WWI line for these killer Wingnutwings kits.
I have a few of these kit and must say that they are some of the best kits ever tooled.
Would it be possible to receive some Hi-Res images from you of this great model? and would love to know how you masked off the checkered tail.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

A beautiful build indeed. Brad has a keen eye when it comes to scale realism.

Great Job Brad
