Excellent, Tim!
Great set of planes Tim! I think you will end up with more Albatros scout than many have planes in their entire collection.
a masterclass in Albatrossiness
Fed up saying this....Brilliant stuff Tim
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Certainly was not me Tim.
I would have said Albatrii.
Kyte.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Tim these are all very tasty.
Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.
Amazing! Wonderful planes.
Many thanks for the accolades, chaps!
I've more of these planned, but other projects will be taking priority for now.

Nice work Tim keep it up.
Those 3D printed from Syborg come out really well. Great painting Tim.
