Hello everyone,
I've got my Albatros on her feet.



I hope to get the struts on and maybe the wing by the end of my weekend.

                                                                    Thanks, Kevin

Hello everyone,
Today is the 100th anniversary of the death of Richthofen. Today I'll try to get the top wing of this D.V in place.



This will be the first time I use EZ Line for the rigging. If I get the time, this build should be done in a week.

                                                                  Thanks and Happy Modeling, Kevin

I remember mounting the wing on this old version of the DV. The PE cabanes gave me fits on two builds. I imagine the Jig will help out with that process

Thanks RAG III for the encouragement! I added some evergreen strip to thicken them. At least they won't snap.

Here is my last update before it's done and displayed with the Competed Models. Like RAGIII warned, the cabane struts were more fun than anyone
should enjoy in a build. The plumbing to the radiator was also a test in 3D thinking.




I've just got to attach some control cables for the elevator and ailerons, and a brace wire to each side of the nose.

                                                             Thanks, Kevin

Thanks for the complement RAGIII! I will build another of these early Eduard D.Vs and maybe document some of my work a bit more.

Beautiful looking Albatros.  I particularly like your plywood wood grain finish.
