Thanks, everybody!

Some extra info on the model - WnW Albatros kit and Wooden Beauties Decal set, Lozenge wings are done up with Pheon Decals pre-cut set (product I highly recommend to save time on lozenge/ribtape application), rigging is done "through-wing" with 0.015 jeweler's wire.

Special Thanks goes out to JackFlash for his in-depth "Lozenge 101" primer and decal application advice, as well as Aeroscale community for inspiring me with their builds.

Ivan, your Albatros is absolutely beautiful. The finish is probably one of the best I have seen. Well done indeed!!!
