I've always wanted one of these to go with my Se-5a. Got it used: stripped down, cleaned up foam added details to fuselage, flying wires, radiator pipes, intake manifolds. Foam-brushed on Minwax gloss. Airbrushed with Tamiya acrylics. Spray on Minwax satin. Thin CA on exhaust then sprinkled on silica sand for texture.

Very nice. -
Apparently we have similar tastes in airplanes. Though, I have to say you did a better job of detailing yours.Comment

That looks great wvrailfan! How does that Dynam plane fly? I think the Se-5a is a nicer flying/handling plane than the Albatros. I've read that it was true with the actual planes. The one I got only had the tail skid. I think the Albatros handles better than the Se-5 on the ground with a skid. Maybe it's the big rudder. I run mine at 150% travel. I tried the Se-5 with the skid and went back to the tail-wheel.Comment

I don't fly this one much. Of the three Dynam biplanes I have the WACO is by far the best. The WACO is just a great all around plane.
The Dynam Tiger Moth is a good plane.
I've never been overly thrilled with the Dynam Albatros. It is a great looking plane, but it took about 5 1/2 oz. of lead in the nose to get the CG even close to being flyable. It does fly, and actually lands well and taxis well on the skid, but the Dynam WACO is by far my favorite bipe.Comment

Looks really good, I love to refurbish planes that others have passed on.Comment
