My first venture into WW1 aircraft
Posted by exnavyman on Monday, November 17, 2014 7:42 AM
I have just purchased an Eduard Albatros D111 Oeffag 253 1/48 scale. I intend to paint the fuselage wood brown. Any tips on how to reproduce the clear coated light wood effect, paint choice and technique.

Welcome to the forum,

Plasticjunkie would be your guy. I know he uses a mix of enamels and oil to produce fantastic looking wood.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Welcome aboard. As well as Tojo's suggestion, have a look at the WW1 Gb currently running, some amazing wood effects in there.
