Roden Albatros D.III (OAW) 1/32

September 24, 2024 · in Aviation · · 20 · 89

After reading Hemingways A farewell to arms I got inspired to build a WWI aircraft. I chose the and painted it in the Jasta-scheme. The first part of the build was really enjoyable, even more because of the interior-kit. But after that the painting (my first airbrush-experience) and placement of the upper wing proved a bit harder…

I finally made it and learned a lot. That's also a nice reward. 😊
