Read how Douglas Craner super-detailed Roden's 1:32 Albatros D.III to represent Manfred von Richthofen's aircraft, complete with a scratch-built figure of the Red Baron himself.

Thanks!

I rarely get too colourful with superlatives. Excellent craftsmanship and a good insight to this subject makes it a real winner in my eyes. This is a fine example of detail oriented modeling I have seen on a Roden 1:32 Albatros D.III. Model On Please!

Very nice work, particularly like the "wear and tear" on the fuselage paint. The interior work and engine are outstanding; I've built this kit and there's been a great deal of effort put in on this one.
Well done!
Cheers,

I agree with the above comments.

Plus it goes to show just what a gem the original Roden Kit is, Their Albatros series I think is possibly the best they produced. I havent built any of their Nieuports sadly so can't comment on them.
Yes their Albie kits have several known flaws but build into a nice kit OOB, this build shows what can be done with effort

Excellent work

Keith

Douglas,
