Ben Builds Season Six: Albatros D.III ep 16



Welcome back to our Eduard, 1/48th scale, Albatros D.III. After today, just one more episode to go and we will be finished! So close now.

Today, we are going to tackle the decals and some basic weathering, so keep your fingers crossed that this stage goes well. I mean, how does one weather a First World War airplane? I don't know, but let's see what happens.

I should mention that I am no expert on weathering (or anything else for that matter). I generally have very little faith in my weathering skills, but we are going to give it a try. I strongly believe that you learn by doing, by trying new things and by pushing past that comfort zone. This kit has really pushed me past my comfort zone and I have been having a ton of fun doing so.

Next week will be the last episode for this series. On that bench day, we will attempt the rigging and show the completed, finished product. I can't wait to get this one on the display shelf and I really hope that it turns out as a mostly-passable Albatros..

A huge thank you to each and every one of you, for hanging in there with me on this build. Stay strong and we will see everybody next week. Happy building!
