Albadross C-type part 3

 

Here then is the completed Albadross.  I made up what felt like a suitable colour scheme - the decals are a combination of what came with the kit and from the decal box.

I'm particularly pleased with the observer.  He started off life as the dismounted motorcyclist from the Airfix Recovery Set and was obligingly already clad in crash helmet and gauntlets.  His right arm - previously stopping traffic - was angled down to grip the edge of the cockpit while his left was given a bomb (from a 1/144 scale kit) to drop on the wicked enemy.

It's the fumes from the plastic cement!

Gosh, I think this may be even better than your Roland! Excellent camouflage.

It was a much quicker paint job than the Roland!

I confess to being stupidly pleased with the observer.
