And here are the wings http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_1780_1.jpg as you can see lots of extra plastic to trim off thats about the only bad thing I can see

and the decals http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_1771_1.jpg I have heard good and bad thing about the decals some break and some work so just be ready.

Also the plans are so so not Tamiya but should work. Let me know if you need any thing more, I also have Squadrons Albatros book if you need me to check some thing.

Hey Aurora-7 if it is all right with you can I change my build to 1/72 Roden Albatros  W.4 early? Since space is becoming a issue and all I need right now is another 1/48 plane.

We'll see if the GB can last. It was locked for a while, and I'm not sure why, but I'll start the roster.

I started a Group Build for this last year and I was one of the few who did not complete it. Well I'm going to finish it this year and if anyone else who has a flying boat, amphibian or float plane model they'd like to do, I'm going to keep this build going to the end of the year.

I'm doing a 1/72 Hasegawa Kawanishi H6K5 "Mavis" Japanese WWII flying boat and an a 1/48  Fine Molds Savoia S.21 from the Japanese animated film "Porco Roso".
