  1. This is an incredible build. The scratches on the leather and the pistol are amazing details. Apart from the crazy rigging, of course.

  2. Another museum piece quality model David.
    Went looking for these Albatros camouflage decals on the makers webpage, guess what I found there?
    I must say these decals really push the high level of the kit even more

  3. Superb David !

  4. Truly an amazing model, love the rigging and the weathering that is just so spot on. Well done David

  5. Sumooth as the silk the wings are covered with. A beauty.

  6. That’s gorgeous, David!

  7. This is a superlative result, David @mentaldental
    So much detailing, and an excellent weathered finish.
    Well done.

  8. That's quite something!

  9. Really nice, probably nicer than the real thing.

  10. Man, you been saving up all these recent builds? Another really beautiful build. Extraordinary work.

    • It takes me about 3 weeks to make one...these were built through May and June. Hannover on the go. I'll post a MVR Albatros soon.
      Figures are calling!

  11. Superb result, David!

  12. Wonderful work and great result as usual.

  13. Three weeks?!?! 😳 OMG, that alone is just an amazing fact, and then the model! David @mentaldental, this is an incredible model. It looks perfect from here and your detail work is "off the chain"! 😁

  14. Just amazing build! The attention and execution of details is world class superb. And to realize your build time to this level of quality is measured in a few months! Years if ever for us mortals, lol! Congratulations!

  15. A great looking color scheme!

  16. That's a real stunner -fantastic work!

  17. I'm glad you're enjoying these.
    MvR soon...πŸ˜‰

  18. Great stuff as always!

    What thinner do you use for your Tamiya colours, and also what gloss/matt coats do you use?

  19. Great build David. Thanks for sheering my friend.
