Title: Albatros D.III Jasta 11, Eduard 1/48
Post by: jarosz92 on December 09, 2013, 07:37:07 AM: Hello,
I started on Eduard's Albatros D III. I will make M. von Richthoffen's plane (series D.1910-D.2200/16). I use Eduard's photo etched parts and a few handmade parts.

At the beginning seat.

And equipment of cockpit: fuel system, hand air pump, Bosch magneto starter. I made new board for valves ( Eduard's board is too small).

I made new control stick based on Windsock.

Then I found another drawings from 1919. This is polish description of the plane. In these drawings the stick is like in DV (not DII)
So I will make new.

Post by: Des on December 09, 2013, 07:53:38 AM: Incredible is the first word that comes to mind, your attention to detail is amazing, it is hard to believe that some of these items are 1:48 scale, we don't see this much detail in larger scales. The fuel distribution panel is brilliant as is the control column, and to turn around and make a second one is a credit to you. Your seat is superb as is the pressure pump, this is going to be a build to follow very closely, very well done.

Post by: Ernie on December 10, 2013, 02:18:44 AM: Stunning scratch-building, Jarosz! I am even more amazed that it is in
1/48th scale. Absolutely first-class attention to detail. I am in awe of
modellers with such talents. Thank you for sharing your work.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I'm working on the engine. It's resin model from Artylleri. It's nice but I want to convert it to 160hp model.
