Thank you Villiers, Bruce, Neuling and Lukasz for your kind comments and all other folks for their likes. Rigging took some time and nervs. The third try worked. Next time I will drill small holes as anchorpoints.

Album info

Appointed commander of Jasta 37 on Nov. 7th, 1917, Lt. Ernst Udet used this black Albatros D. Va during winter 1917/1918, Wynghenge/France. Later in 1918 he was awarded the order Pour-le-Mérite.
The kit is quite well detailed and parts fit well together. Only the sprue of the right fuselage where the lower wing is fixed was executed not so clean and had to be sanded. Tiny PE-parts were a little bit nerve-wracking and the carpetmonster got its tribute. Rigging was done with elastic rigging of Uschi van der Rosten
