Looks like Corgi did a fantastic job on this one, I know in the pics it looks too shiny but without the Camera Flash and in hand it really is not that shiny. I think they used some sort of Satin finish and the colors look very accurate as well as the markings. Great plane for under $40.00

Tim has posted some super snaps on his Tricatus site. Thankfully he is a lot better with the 'brownie box' camera!

The photos posted by Tricatus are, as usual, excellent. Based on the photos alone, the rigging doesn't appear to be sufficiently 'toight' ( as Goldmember would say) .

I just received my Albatros today, and must say that it does justice. The quality put into this is great. I think I'll venture out, and try one of the FlyBoys 'Cassidy' Nieuports to put along side of this.
Sorry, but I do not have a camera, so I cannot post any pics. The plane is well boxed and protected. My certifcate is #100.

Regards,

Mike

Hunhunter, thanks for the good news. I've got pre-orders in for the following:

Albatros DV - von Roth
SE 5.A - Billy Bishop
Spad XIII - Biddle
Sopwith Camel - Botterell
Spad XIII - Eddie Rickenbacker.

At least I know the Albatros is on the market. Now for the others to show.

Where did you buy it as I've been looking for it?
