Albatros D.III OEFFAG 253, 253.08, Flik 3J, piloted by Oblt. Stefan Stec in Summer 1918.

Stec's personal marking, the white and red chessboard, was the basis for the Polish Air Force roundel.

I used 0.006" carbon fiber for the rigging; it's stiff like stretched sprue would be.

Hardest. Model. I've. Ever. Done.

Glad it's finished. Would never have done it w/o the social pressure of a group build. On to the Starfish GB entry !
