Ltn. Hans Böning Albatros D V

May 9, 2020 · in Diorama · · 13 · 2.4K

This is the kit “Von Richtofen”. For the realization I used some aftermarket products. For the engine I used the distribution kit of "Taurus model", the lozenge decals are of "Aviattic" and the turnbukles are of "Gaspatch model". The woodgrain is with oil paints. To simulate the linen in the tail rudder I used the decals of "Aviattic". As always, the greatest difficulty is in rigging (elastic wire of "Uschi VdR"). The figure in the are by “Model Cellar” and the Bicycle are by mb model. The judgment is yours.

  5. Very good work and I also think that the painting scheme is a success.

  6. This is just superb, one of the best results with a WNW kit I have seen anywhere. Everything is right - the airplane, the figure, the "supporting cast."
