Mikael Terfors (OEFFAG_153) has Converted Roden's 1:32 scale Albatros DIII to the OEFFAG version throwing in some Battle Axe bits. The result is very nice as you can see.

I second Keith thoughts.Excellent project and many great ideas and tips.Mikael you've set a very high bench mark for yourself with Oeffag D.III.I personaly can't to see what's next from your bench.No doubts you'll set even higher bench marks with your next project.
Highest Regards,

Hi Everyone

Thank You so much for all your kind words

Me and the Albatros are quite overwhelmed with the attention this build has attracted. Also feeling very flattered with the feature!

– Gregory my friend Thank You – Yes this feature makes it a bit hard to "just" do an out of the box build here in future

Warmest Regards to you all

Mikael

Hi Mikael:

I have to echo the sentiment of everyone on here. You really have done a great job turning a sows ear into a silk purse. If a B.A. Oefag ever turns up at a 'reasonable' price, I will definately turn to your feature for how to. You have definately raised the bar.

Thanks for sharing.

Best
Mark
