["All in all decals are OK and if it hadn't been for some guy like Mike, I would have never concieved the idea to finish the DIII as Voss's mount"]
["As he said, that if it wouldn't have been for Werner Voss being such an exceptional sculpt by Mike Good, he would have never been tempted to build the DIII, on my part I would have never expected to fare so well in Class1 at EuroMilitaire amidst so MUCH more colourful and elaborate and eyecatching subjects then a SIMPLE 19yr old (or 20 ??) WWI Ace with hands in pocket yes I got my first GOLD after a 13yr jinx/itch of going to EuroMilitaire!!!!!!!"]
The top qoute is my brother's Joseph copied and pasted from the Aerodrome forum, where he briefly but significantly explains why he was tempted to build the Albatros DIII as Werner's mount after he finished the awesome looking biplane last week; while the lower quote is mine on the same thread and on the same forum
I'm sorry I didn't post earlier as we (a contingent of 13 from my club) flew off to Catania for the C.S.M.S. Expo from the 4th till the 6th last weeekend. It was the 1st time that Wener was displayed with his DIII and they really fared well together and were awarded a gold medal. I have to say that displayed with his mount, Werner really looked satisfied at last and could detect a sense of relief on his facial expression I'm sure it is visible enough for all to see
So as I promised Mike that I would post the finished pics of the Albatross, here they are in all their glory
The next joint project between us is going to be Billy Bishop and his Neuport, so God Willing, at next year's EuroMilitaire I will display the DIII & Voss together in Class 21 or something like that, and throw Bishop alone in Class1's arena and test his mettle vis a vis Voss's golden exploits this year
