albatros

Got started on my 2nd build, the OCCRE Albatros. I'm hoping to lean from my (many) mistakes on my 1st build of OCCRE's Polaris. :) Got the skeleton squared up and put together. Also got the deck planked and sanded. Going to line out the planking (still deciding on a pattern) this week...

I hope everyone is well! I am actually about a week and a half late starting this thread.What a difference when you buy a quality model I am really enjoying this build.Here are some pictures of my progress so far,all constructive criticism is more then welcome.

The Albatros is my first build, and man I've learned a lot by doing! I was excited to start this hobby last year. I'm starting this build log a little over half way through the build, but here it is anyway. Happy to be here, I'll keep posting.

I received the Albatros as a gift over 4 years ago and didn’t have time or commitment to start it. With my recent retirement I have the time and the desire to get back to modeling. I started with a Revell Constitution, 1/96 Scale. It was a significant effort over 4 months but I learned a lot...
