Elf Model is the company that makes this model. It's a Czech company, it wasn't expensive. The pack includes several metal parts.

Look at the article in Internetmodeller, I tried to explain the technique I used there. :wink: I don't use any special colors, just the cheapest I found in a local shop - 10 colors in one pack. I mix them to get the correct shades.

Thank you Freccia, I also like the your Dr.I.

One thing I would recommend you is to do some shading/weathering on the plane.

Read this article I wrote for internetmodeller, I explained how I do the black shading here (it's one of my early models): http://www.internetmodeler.com/2007/augu...ustang.php

A very well built Albatross! One comment I would make is regarding the finish. Personally I would use a dull/flat coat instead of a gloss finish as it all looks very shiny at the moment. Other than that...VERY NICE!!
