This 1920's German airliner has involved a long period of research and assistance from some expertise available though the internet.
The German Albatros L 58 airliner is certainly one of my favorite aircraft and it's form radiates an art deco sensibility and aeroplaneness that recalls cartoon aircraft and the first aircraft we may try to draw in our childhood...two intersecting elongated blobs...but there is nothing 'blobby' about this aircraft. The wings and tail remind one of the L58's origins in the fighting aircraft of WW1.
I think the windows of this aircraft are wonderful and I think the radiators are fabulous. We avoided any lateral incisions in the fuselage roof and the wing, which I am still going back for another go at, took around 18 different builds to date, but to be honest, i lost count
We are very happy with the timber texture and color and the subtle 'dimpling' on the fuselage of the plywood..
