Albatros DVa Jasta 64w 1/32 Wingnut Wings

[Guest]

Just put the wraps on this . Ca'nt say enough great things about this kit,one of the best I've ever built. Fit and finish is top notch and the instruction booklet even has actual reference pictures included. The decals laid down very nicely and accepted the Walthers Solvaset blending into the details perfectly. I finished it with model master enamels and topcoated it with Testors Dulcote.


the photo etch gun covers are a nice upgrade included in the kit






the interior is well stocked but not too complicated,again the fit was perfect










I did'nt use any filler at all,the fit is that good


































thanks for looking cheers Trey

Beautiful Trey, it looks superb , a very crisp ,precise build. Ive read great things about the wingnuts stuff and if you're into WW1 stuff they are the ultimate kits . Sounds like you really enjoyed this one , great job , cheers tony

that's great,real nice build,and oh what a shame you cannot see your all

I've always been scared of WW1 stuff, or anything with rigging wires to fit! You've done a great job on this and it looks superb, and, despite its rather disappointing performance at the time, surprisingly 'modern' for something flying less than 15 years after the first flight of the Wright Flyer.


I like the paint job too. Whilst not my paint of choice I've used a few from the Modelmaster range and found them sympathetic to use. You've certainly achieved a lovely finish on this.


Cheers

I have seen some great builds of the Wingnut kits, and this is another one of those. Terrific work on this Trey. Love the colour scheme.

Nice to see you back posting Trey and what a build to come back with it looks fantastic. I've never built a Wingnuts kit but heard nothing but good stuff about them. Cracking build again

Brilliant Trey,


I've only read good things about these kits and will have to treat myself one day.

Stunning work Trey. The cockpit detail and paint finish are top drawer. Your verdict on the kit only makes me want to build mine more (I have the same Albatros DVa in the stash) and I can only hope mine turns out as good as this.


Am I right in thinking that you have a restrained wood effect on the prop? If so, it is excellent - subtle and very, very authentic.


At the moment I'm working on the 2 Fokker Dr.1s I started an eon ago in the WW1 GB. They're Roden kits and, though probably not up to Wingnut Wings standard, are pretty good.


This is great work Trey and I hope this isn't your last great war build.


Cheers
