                        I typically build jet aircraft but have decided to try Eduards 1/72 scale Albatros DV. What is the best way to simulate the wood finish on the fuselage of this aircraft. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCESmile [:)]

                        Hi,

                        It seems that most folks use decals:

                        http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/w1/cleaveralbd5.htm

                        And this guy painted them. This link may be more useful because it covers a 1/72 scale plane:

                        http://www.rollmodels.net/nreviews/airplanes/72Albatros/johannes.htm

                        And here's one more:

                        LUFBERY, I really like the technique with the acrylic and oil paints. Thanks so very much for the links. F4PHANTOMGUY
