1 inch Albatross II

Smallest paper model I've built so far. Measures just over 1 inch in length, wingspan is 1.25 inches.
The red is hand painted over the printed red as a stain to make the colour more vibrant. Luckily, I have spent years painting wargames figures, so no hassle with the painting side. Had to build the fuselage twice, as the 1st attempt was not pretty- the tail end is the tricky (for me) part of it. At least painted up the paint hides any exposed white of tabs and seams.

Very nice tiny plane, gotham! Any plane that is an inch long tends to be very impressive, especially a biplane

Thanx for the appreciation. I just had a 'hankering' to build a WWI biplane and ended up builing this. I feel much better about it now it's painted (and all finished).
