Building the 1/32 Wingnut Wings Red Baron Albatros D.V step by step build

[@karitylinen8096]

This was nice to watch like usual. One my absolutely favourite channels on KZbin

[@jmauney63]

Great job on the model. The Albatross D.V is one of the most aesthetically pleasing aircraft ever made IMHO. I don't like the yellow color, however. I feel the fuselage should be bare wood with variations from one panel to the next. Thanks for sharing your techniques, esp. the rigging. I have never even attempted to do the rigging myself.

[@davidfusco6600]

Great video! Beautiful model. You’re easy to follow, with no BS’ing, keeping right to the point. I’m psyched to build my next model!

[@moorsbert]

faboulus bild, result is stunning, please built more of these in the future!

[@tigertanktoo]

That is one pretty Albatros. I'm not an airplane guy, but seeing builds like that can sure convince me to go get one.

[@stevemiller7433]

gorgeous model. The Albatros is the most beautiful of the WW1 fighters.

[@lesthiele7645]

Hi Andy, I would just like to say that you have done a fantastic job of the Albatros D.V, its nice to see you do something slightly different. Again a great job done by a modelling expert. Cheers. Les

[@johnprice7303]

In an earlier life, I was an enthusiastic modeller of ww2 aircraft. I am now afflicted by a condition which make my hands shake uncontrollably and I need to use a spoon to Eat. But how I wish that I was capable of building this model. My since congratulations to the builder! F S

[@slackjaw703]

Just a stunning model. I was skeptical of the color scheme but that really turned out wonderful. The rigging line was a stroke if genius ax well. Just a very clean model, something that any modeler would be extremely proud to display.

[@waynecoulter6761]

I agree... the rear fuselage would have been varnished wood if I'm not mistaken... not yellow.

[@dtmjax5612]

Wayne Coulter Yes...the thing is nobody really knows for sure, and back then conditions, colors, an added scheme or two, could change on a daily basis. Very little if any unit standards.

[@ronschlorff7089]

@@dtmjax5612 and very little color photography then too ;)

[@ronschlorff7089]

@@waynecoulter6761 agreed, don't know why wingnuts suggested that color. It was a bit straw-ish colored, if cleared and not stained first, but that is way too yellow, IMHO. Good example of the need for your own research, even on a kit. Since I scratch most of mine, it's (the research) a major part of the build.

[@MothaLuva]

Wayne Coulter WNW does a real thorough job with their research, also with the colors. The picture(s) of the real airplane clearly show a different color on the rear of this airplane, compared to other Albatrosses with a natural varnished wood rear. I have the same model kit and there are some photos at the end of the instructions going with the particular paint schemes.

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Andy I think this is one of your nicest builds yet. It really is stunning.

[@shaunmiller8310]

Looks awesome to me much better than I could do and the rigging looks great to me as well, I would be proud to display that in my house if I had built it..

[@einefreunde]

Wonderful work Andy

Excellent build, Andy! I’m looking forward to any possible future aircraft builds!

[@ednitram]

This is your best aircraft build. A masterpiece of skillful simplicity!

Beautiful build of a beautiful kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@oldtown6240]

Modeling by Andy is an art form. Terrific build.

[@maniacpanic666]

Sorry, but it looks like a toy...

[@MarksUselessChannel]

@@maniacpanic666 You built a more realistic one from that kit? We would all like to see it.

You are very pleasing to follow Brent from down under

[@mladtheimpaler]

It's nice to see you finally get around to building one of these kits! I hope you build more in the future.

[@arthurmarinelli9418]

Inspiring!. I haven't built an aircraft since 1979, but this video is making me reconsider a lost art. Nicely done

[@53hew]

more MORE planes please! Fantastic kit, build, advice and video. 5 stars plus.

WAUW!!! Just a beautiful job you made again.

[@antoniodellaragione6091]

Bel lavoro , complimenti 👍👍👍👍👍

[@timraines4972]

Sweeeeeet! You must have the patience of a saint, for all that rigging. Would love to see the tri wing being built

[@isaiahtrofimenko1739]

One of your best models! Such a beauty. Thank you for sharing your work!

[@bigchef2112]

Excellent work. Awesome kits. No a plane builder, but I want to do one of these.

[@ericverpeten4249]

Terrific build.

[@philRminiatures]

The best period for planes imho, terrific job!

[@nickbutler7935]

A beautifully thought out and engineered kit. Down side is the price tag, but ultimately worth it. Great build Andy.

[@robertmayott5835]

Great job, Andy. I love the build and the subject. More WWI !! Thanks.

[@jonfoisy1237]

For many years I've wanted to build a ww1 fighter. Ideally one of richthofen's earlier bi planes. After seeing this video, I was hooked. I had to order one. Can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for sharing Andy!

[@paulmoore5401]

Very helpful Andy. Thank you.

[@brucewarren3562]

Superbly done!

[@andrewjackson3761]

Would 9f loved a look at the finished guns with sights and was there know rigging on tail . Looks fantastic . I don't like plane build's but you have wetted my appetite and I think I might do one . Keep up all the good work . I feel bad saying because you run a shop as well as planing editing these great video's and spending time doing the build's , but did you do any more of the panther kits you were planning. I would also like to add that your love for the hobby comes over and I hope you are getting financially rewarded because you can tell that you do this for love and enjoyment first and I don't think you even think of the knock on to your shop but I do hope you have had an increase in trade . People like you are extending this hobby and giving it new life . God bless and every success.

[@henrikhilskov]

First I copy you on that I hope business succes to Andy and in his private life too. Seems to be a very nice guy. However he knows it is hard to have a real shop in this years where more and more trade are done at internet. People there know what the are talking about actual use this method to drive knowledge and commercial for your shop to drive customer in your direction. Please notice whatsoever happy this man are. Having a shop open for maybe 10 hours a day and then do commercial videos for maybe 3 hours a day. That is hard work.

[@jxvolker]

Super job and video!

[@LennyKaosium]

Beautiful, good work.

[@matsb6463]

Very nice, what I really like you are careful with the weathering and the wash, some really goes over the top with that but you’ve done a really god job.

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

Thank you. I try to inspire anyone and everyone .

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Oh man didn’t realize that the plane were those colors. Always thought it was all red. Superb build as always. Now if we could get a figure of the Red Baron and put him in the cockpit where he belongs we’d really be set

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Great build. Last time i did a WWI plane was in the '60's it was a Revell SPAD and a Fokker Tri wing. These Wing Nut kits look great I might have to build one.

[@philbivins7133]

Absolutely spectacular job on this beautiful model....I hope to get this kit as well. I really love the WWI aircraft. Kudos, well done!

[@GahMehGrrrr]

Beautiful job

[@scottmccloud9029]

A really great build Andy. I've built several WW1 planes back when I was a kid. The Spad XIII, the camel and triplane. Rigged em all. Now I doubt my eyes would allow me to do that. Lol. Great job.

[@tsjuster2665]

just lovely work Andy

[@timvaughn8696]

Amazing build

[@samaronegoncalves5112]

Congratulations from Brazil...amazing work!!! I Love the scale model!!!

[@VonDrinkoften]

That's a gorgeous looking Albatross Andy and fantastic looking vibrant colours as well. Although possibly slightly overscale, the thread you have used looks excellent and ideal for those of us who don't have sharp eyesight anymore that's required for lighter threads. I too have avoided WW1 aircraft due to the issues with rigging but after seeing this I am definitely tempted to build one now. Awesome work mate!

[@jonnypalmberg8351]

A really nice build. I really enjoy these WW I airmachines...Right now I', building my first Albatros D.II in 1:72 scale from Roden...I met some difficulties and really don't appreciate the manual so I decided that I will build another one in a bigger scale next time...I love those Albatrosses. And as a fan of von Richthofen, every model he flew must be a fun one to build. But you can't argue on it...The Fokker Dr.1 says it all...!!!

[@davidbutterfield2949]

Beautiful job Andy, great choice of colour scheme 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@robertooyendyk3628]

A nice build Andy. I've built 3 planes by WNW a Pfalz D.XII, A Fokker D.VII and a Roland C.II and thoroughly enjoyed them. They are great kits.

[@MrHullRockers]

Do you not find that when you glue painted parts they don't stick so well and the paint runs where you apply the glue?

[@timtheeagle1]

Amazing! Just amazing! Terrific work! I had begun wondering where you went! Well I see now what took so long between videos! Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece!

[@mariomeza3408]

Andy, WOW!! REALLY LOOKED AMAZING!! Honestly Andy you kill it on your builds.👏👏👏👏👍👍🤙

[@DavidRamirez-ww5kv]

Excellent build Andy. I plan on building this kit too. The rigging looks out of scale, but still looks good. I would use espy line heavy for 1/32 and easy line fine for 1/72 and 1/48. Also, if you attach the turn buckles it would take it to the next level.

[@catlady8324]

WnW factory recommends “EZline FINE”.

[@ronschlorff7089]

@@henrikhilskov worse, some fuel tanks were in the cockpit and seats were on top of them, especially in German 2-seater reconnaissance planes of WW1. Not an ideal situation!

Awesome Build Andy, thanks for sharing, God Bless All

[@eclipsehorse8693]

wooow amazing work Andy! This is totally museum quality! Wonderful subject matter- you don't see a lot of WWI aircraft kits. Wingnut has just really outdone themselves in terms of detail and quality, the engine alone could be it's own kit! Thanks for the tip about the elastic thread, This will definately make it a lot easier for anyone wanting to tackle a classic warbird like this! :)

[@brucerobinson7295]

Hello Andy I have been on the fence about the wingnuts kits your video was great ! I have watch most of your armour build such as the Academy M3 Lee and the tiger very helpful keep up the good work thanks for all your time. and effort !!! see ya round the web Have a great Day Bruce

[@muskokamike127]

9:29....I paint exterior cottage signs and have started doing more landscape paintings as opposed to "signs" and I do a lot of trees. Some of my favourite brushes for doing tree bark and birch trees is a brush I let dry with paint on it then combed it with a brass toothbrush. The bristles are extremely stiff now and perfect for doing stuff like wood grain etc.

[@leth9320]

Excellent build Andy. I have wanted to build one of the Wingnut Wings models for a while now but like you was scared of the rigging. Great tip for the elastic thread. As for turnbuckles, I saw a tip a while back where someone slipped a tiny piece of brass tube over the twine and cemented it in place and it looked great as a turnbuckle. Just an idea if you want to do another. Not that your fantastic build is lacking anything at all!

[@thebobbins1735]

Lovely work. I've always wanted to build a Wingnuts kit, but it's the rigging that gives me The Fear.

[@larryscarafile7309]

Defiantly a different build, Quite entertaining . When I was notified that you had a video on an it was a WW1 aircraft I wasn't sure I'd be interested. But I really enjoyed it . I was hoping you would have built the one with the 3 colored fuselage but it was nice to see a build with different colors

[@gunstanksplanes9001]

Wow Andy! That a fun build to watch. Glad I’m not alone when it comes to rigging. I guess a lot of modelers have that one WWI airplane sitting in their stash. Be awhile until I build again, as I’m moving....closer to Andy’s Hobby Headquarters! See you in the near future.

[@joebennett3937]

[@danboon9831]

Wingnut should pay you for this, lol. You sold me on this kit! Stunningly great job!

[@ronschlorff7089]

some guys, on internet, do "review builds", I wonder if they get "kick backs" from the kit manufactures or just the free kit. I have some friends who build for clients, but "make no money" really. The "big time" might be to build for a museum; it might be worth it. But then it would be "work"; and who wants that? :D

[@APWPaint]

Super nice build and some cool tips. I wish you would give us an idea of price when you are doing these.

[@evilscience3164]

Hello Andy, I have a question about gluing. When you glued the engine and cockpit in the slots that they fit into are painted. Question did you Tamia liquid glue glue and scrape the paint out of the grooves? or no scraping or super glue? It seems that gluing to paint might not be good. can you educate me?

[@theleninist4272]

Really fantastic build, i love WW1 aircraft kits , i build the German and French aircraft used by the Workers and Peasants Red air fleet during the Russian civil war .I had never seen one of the Wingnut wings kits being built before, i think that 1/32 is to big for me as i dont have the room , have you considered building one of the Eduard 1/48 WW1 models, the Nieuport 17 is a nice model .

[@ronschlorff7089]

I too build smaller scales, and many scratch-builds. I like going to Wingnut site to get detail information that I can transform into 1/48 or 1/72 scales.
