I am continually amazed at the high level of engineering skills you are displaying with this build, the control column and accessories is an absolute work of art and is a model in its own right, looking forward to seing more updates soon.

I agree with all of the above, Martin!  This is pure modeling magic!

Astonishing skills, incredible patience and a complete masterclass of scratch building.

I can only agree with all the words above. This is excellent modelling on a very high level. I expect that many museums will beg for being allowed to show that Albatros.

sorry, double drop.
next, throttle assembly on the grip, not sure if I will paint the unit in the "green", might leave it in bare metal.
before install, wil have to produce the rudder assembly first..
