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.
Just love the groovy psychedelic paint job! Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Nice job on the plane an love the bomb dropping idea with the observer. Also thanks for sharing the pic of the recovery kit, I've not seen that before.

ReplyDeleteThanks - the old Recovery Set is a classic!
It's the fumes from the plastic cement!
ReplyDeleteLovely psychedelic paint work and love the observer conversion.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I think this may be even better than your Roland! Excellent camouflage.
