No fair Rick, you didn't show us the re-engineering of the strut! Whatever you did it looks to have done the trick!

Thanks for the comment!

I used the inverted V strut as it comes in the kit to measure the length needed for the strut from the red circles, Sorry for the poor quality but I am not very good at Flikr Editing

, Once I had the correct length I sanded the inverted V so it allowed the new strut to fit where the inverted V originally made contact. I hoppe this makes sense ?

I sound like a broken record Rick, but your work is outstanding. Love how she is coming along.

Juan,
As always I appreciate your comments and support!

Congratulations Rick.

Your strut re-engineering certainly has worked extremely well!

And your wing streaking looks great!

Thanks for the positive feedback. Greatly appreciated!

I used the link for aging photos from another thread and this was the result:

It makes perfect sense Rick. Thanks for the explanation.

Fin and Rudder added as well as the small PE attachments for the Rigging points. Now all that is left is the actual rigging , finishing the engine plug wires, adding the step and lift rings, attaching the cowling permanently, and a bit of touch up...well a lot of touch up actually

PS: So far the wing structure seems quite sturdy

Rick,
You're most welcome my old friend. I'm feeling much better of late so I'll be around more than I've been in quite awhile.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I would dearly like to see where the touching up is required! That is looking spectacular even though it is not quite finished.

Looking great! I did this scheme in 1/72 in my Roden E.V, and though I'm not a huge fan of this aircraft, it is tempting more and more....!

PS how is the OAW Albatros D.III coming along?

Great Rick, very nice! I must say that I had intented to build this kit as a fast and easy "between two serious projects" build. But your and Lance's build reports frightened me off a little. That didn't seem to be quick and easy... but nevertheless it's a pleasure to look at!

Rick,
Your approach to wrestling this one onto the mat seems to have worked very successfully, a beautiful and impressive model from what is, at best, a very basic Kit. That tricky flimsy wing set up looks solid and you've done a great job on the finish. Congratulations, a great result and having just been there myself, very well done!
Cheers,
Lance

Agree completely with Lance, and between both of your builds, give us plenty of material to digest and hopefully come up with just as beautiful a reproduction.
