Its not that its overly difficult,just requires a bit of thought and patience which you have, for me to have any patience I'd have to become a doctor:smiling3:
Not a lot done engine is started and the instrument panel.
I am impressed with the Eduard plastic and the details everything goes together very nicely so far.
I still need to add the pin wash .
I tried to get a wood effect on the dash. I painted the dials brass then added the PE dial faces then sealed them with gloss varnish.
Any suggestions from the wingy guys I would love to hear them.
cheers

Nice start Scottie. The dash is particularly effective.
Usual quality Paul and a very interesting build
Looks like wood & brass to me, nice.
How did I miss this. Definitely one to watch :smiling:
So far so good.
Scottie, it's the detailed grundgy weathering of the dashboard that the wingy guys often can't do. You've done it realistically. I like the brass work.
Cheers,
Wabble
I knew it - brilliant!
Thanks Jim.
Cheers Bob.
Thanks Paul still a pin wash to do.
Cheers Mick, It is so easy to miss builds on here with the amount of quality builds going on.
Thanks Mark hope my luck holds.
Cheers Richard it's hard to know what is right when you don't normally build these.
Neil to kind Sir.

Morn Bro,
The wing thingy is looking real good Paul!!! I love your work on the IP with the glass looking instruments. very realistic. Something puzzles me though Paul......
If you are building an Albatros D.III, why is your thread title for a Spad XIII???...............Been nipping the Sherry again Buddy???...

Thanks mate you are perfectly correct it is indeed an Albatros I will be seeking medical advice as soon as I can or changing my Sherry provider.
A question to the plane builders. What colour would the interior be? would it be a canvas colour or would the external paint colour leech through the fabric?
Hi Paul,
From what I've seen and read up on, the interior of the cockpit would be a wood color, ie. Tamiya XF-59. If Eduard doesn't give you the details, go to scalemates and punch in 32047. It's the WnW's Albatross D.V (very similar) to yours. Scroll down and bring up the instructions. Use them for the coloring of the interior and all the little tidbits inside. You can cross reference the listed colors (mostly Tamiya and Humbrol) and use what you have O/H. The cockpits were made of wood and there wouldn't be any bleed through from the outside...

It's ok Bro! It just caught me out there. I looked at the instructions for your kit and saw at the very bottom there was colors for a Spad XIII, so it probably threw you off a little...It's all good, in fact, real good!!!
..... What's in a name Scottie?!!....
..... I think your Spalbatros looks good.
