From now on I will scrub them with steel wool so they look nice before the photo-shoot.

Tommy, that would look great in any scale, but getting this much out of a 1/72 is simply wonderful. This is a very nice build...

It certainly looks better than their 1/48 Albatros D.V. I was building the quality, engineering and fit on some parts was really poor. :pistols: :wall:
