And finally some visible progress on my Alba....... The national markings are painted on, they need some fine adjustments but first they will be protected by a layer of gloss cote.

Next step was the painting of the canvas surfaces ( only the sides with the roundels ), I put on black base to give a bit of depth and made the areas shaded a bit to break up the monotony of relatively big surfaces

And how it looks completed, before fine adjustments

Since I don't have decals for this specific plane, and I believe they doesn't even exist especially in 1/48 scale I had no other choice but to make them myself.

After printing the decals I noticed the printer didn't paint the black areas evenly so I had to paint it over. The difference is clearly visible......

The decal paper is clear so I had to paint the white areas on the fuselage on places where the decals will come

As I found out later the white area are too small for the scull so a bit of extra work will be needed here also

The work continued. After a long research about the paint of K.u.K. Oefag Albatros in this particular scheme - natural wood and canvas with green ( or sometimes green and brown ) patches I found out that the K.u.K Oeffag's which was later used by the Serbian air force was with green patches applied on two ways, with sponge or sprayed. I decided to make my Albatros in the second scheme, sprayed patches, here it is after spraying patches and two layers of gloss cote. Thank's No.1 in help with the research  :-salut

Thank's chaps !

I made a wash with burnt umber to give a little depth and worn out look to the canvas, to see the difference between with the done and undone I made the picture of the both, side by side, the upper wing half is the the treated one, not clearly visible on the picture, much better in life

Thank you friends !

A bit a work again, the start of the natural metal surfaces, I used Valleyo Air acrylic, two shades aluminium and chrome to get a more realistic look. Fine adjustment's will follow
