Thank you !
Hi!
After several weeks the color of the ribs seem to want to stay under the paint. For how long ...

I scraped the varnish with a fiber pen and at the tip of the blade and I messed up the fuselage with oil paint.
Some hatches and grilles that direct the bombs out of the cockpit were stuck.

A new tank was made from the pictures in the WNW P24 Albatross BII (457/16) and the Albatros C1 P23 Windsock. Be careful, there are many sizes (I think).
Large ones that go from the front of the wing to the back, small ones that stop at 2/3.
Obviously I was wrong.

I made a template for a big one. Note that I was also wrong in cutting the round (bottom) that must be the other way ... I used the template provided by Eduard to hold the wings during their assembly to draw the sides of the tank template.
The tank is 23.5mm long.

During editing I made a "print" after retouching. If it can be useful to someone.

Inside I glued the two discs (8mm diameter) separated by 4mm. They give the shape of the front of the tank.

The length and height of the set have been resized to match the photos.
The welds are made of stretched plastic glued to tamiya glue.
The two square rods at the front are 1.5mm wide.
Below the large nut will receive the hose that will power the engine.

Still to paint, green or metal, or gray?
