Thomas F. Forester Jr.
Eagle River, Wisconsin
To build Verner Voss’ Albatros D.Va, Thomas dressed up Eduard’s 1/48 scale kit with EZ Line rigging connected with homemade eyes and rigging, Uschi Van Der Rosten wood panel decals for the plywood fuselage, a solder coolant lines at the front of the engine, and a resin seat. He painted the World War I fighter with Mr. Color lacquers and posed it in a maintenance scene with a scratchbuilt tail prop and stairs.
