Hi all,
Not quite sure exactly where to post this question, so if I need to be pointed in another direction, feel free to point!
As I stated before, I have yet to build an aircraft from WWI, and was thinking of the WnW Albatros D.V as my first. My plan is to either do it in the markings of Udet or Von Schleich. I haven't decided yet. I do know that at some point I'll do another to represent Von Richthofen, considering it was his preferred aircraft.
I have already planned to aquire the Aber Spandau 08/15 guns and HGW seatbelts. Eduard offers a set of control horns generic to all aircraft of this era. Is that something that could be of use, or not?
I've also seen others on this site mention instrument bezels, and the use of printers ink. I've never used printers ink, so any info on this would be helpful.
Lastly; what is recommended for rigging? I've seen others mention everything from stretched sprue, (which I never have good luck with. Just burnt fingers), thin wire, monofiliment, e-z line and sewing thread. This will be the first craft I've ever had to rig, so what suggestions for a newbie are there?
Bear in mind, I don't mind buying aftermarket to get as much detail as possible. As much as I love to build, my greater passion lies in the detailing, weathering and diorama creation, versus scratchbuilding.
Thanks in advance for all the help
