Mike Taylor built the Wingnut Wings Albatros D.Va using Pheon Models decals in the colours of Hans von Hippel.

I like it! Just enough weathering and not too shiny.

Painting, decaling, and weathering is simply 1st class. A very well built model. As usual, well done rigging just amazes me.

Thanks Guys, one thing though I did not use Pheon decals. The Lozenge is WNW's and the flash is painted.

I've edited the article to correct that.
