Man that is a beautiful build. Netherlands air force?

Jos Jansen
Just awesome Kees...you are an inspiring builder in our modeller group, great to know you!

Eelco Gregoire
Looks great Kees!!

Mike Grant
Beautiful! 👍

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks Ben, Jos, Eelco and Mike👍
@Ben: Yes, this Albatros from German jasta 20 crash landed in the Netherlands and, since the Netherlands were neutral during WWI, was interned and flown by the Netherlands Air force
@Jos: same here mate! 👍

Wim van der Luijt
Those orange circles look good on the albatros, the finish is suberb! The rigging looks functional, those buckles bring it to life....you don't happen to have any in progress pictures to share?

Soeren R.
Fantastic work!

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks Soeren and Wim, much appreciated! 👍
Wim, I have a lot of work in progress pictures, but didn't post them here. Anything in particular you want to see pictures of?

Slavo Hazucha
Flawless beauty... 👍 Excellent finish on all involved material- and surface types present, microscopic details and perfect rigging and top photos (very nice use of Depth of field & focus) - pro job on every step 👍

Wim van der Luijt
since rigging is still a dark art to me, pics of the rigging are especially welcome

Neuling
What could I say after Slavo spoke?

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks Slavo and Neuling for the positive comments! 👍
@Wim: it's quite simple. Just feed a elastic Uschi wire (i.e. Uschi) through a piece of tube (i.e. bob's buckle), through an eyelet (i.e. Gaspatch) and then back in the tube and glue. The eyelets are to be glued in predrilled holes, so drill them early in the building process😉

Wim van der Luijt
tja, als je het zo stelt, klinkt het wel heel makkelijk😉. Heb pas voor het eerst draad van Uschi gebruikt voor een antenne.....was wel heel makkelijk spul om mee te werken......"gewoon" een keer doen dus 👍

Kees Kleijwegt
Zo is het Wim! Omdat het elastisch is kan je heel makkelijk eerst 1 kant vastmaken en daarna de andere kant "opspannen" en vastlijmen.

Bas Tonn
Mooi gemaakt Kees, top !! En goeie tip voor de rigging

Robert Podkoński
Excellent model and photos indeed.

Spanjaard
Missed this one before. Unforgivable! Beautiful job Kees

Rui S
Beautifull and very well done 👍

Villiers de Vos
Very nicely done. Your paint work is great.

Michael Kohl
Rigging is slack in some places. Apart from that it is an outstanding model, very convincingly painted and weathered.

Kees Kleijwegt
Thank you Bas, Robert, Spanjaard, Rui, Villiers and Michael!!
@Michael: I think what you 'mistake' for slack are rigging wires crossing each other and changing the angle a bit? All rigging is elastic and under tension

Alex Rodionov
Superb job. 👍

Daniel Klink
Whooaaaaaaaaaa! Speechless! 👍

Michael Kohl
Hi Kees. You are absolutely right. I did mistake the wirecrossings for slack. Again: great model - and cool choise of subject.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Beautiful!

Kees Kleijwegt
Thanks Alex, Daniel and WhiteGlint, much appreciated! 👍🏻

Ethan Flory
Stunning paint job and photography!!

Ben M
Good to see this one come up again! It's so beautiful.

Erik Leijdens
It certainly is Ben! I have seen it from close by and it is a beauty!

Christian
Very beautiful!

Marcin Dudek
Outstanding paintjob 👏

Kees Kleijwegt
Hey, kind of a 'blast from the past' 😀
Thank you for the comments mates!

Bernhard Schrock
Unusual plane very well build and photographed.
