Title: Albatros D.III interior bulkhead drawings
Post by: davecww1 on January 03, 2023, 09:28:15 AM

I'm going to do MvR's Albatros D.III red fuselage aircraft, but looking at the photo of it the engine cowling is removed.  The Eduard weekend kit also shows the cowling off of it, but the kit does not have the wooden bulkheads seen in the photo. I need to find some drawings of the internal bulkheads so I can cut them on my vinyl cutter.  If anyone has these drawings please let me know.
Thanks
Dave

I think I'm all set, found bulkhead drawings in the Albatros D.I/D.II Datafile 100 that will work good to print out and attach to sheet plastic, drill and trim to fit.  Only thing I'm not sure about is if there was a wooden bulkhead at the very front between the engine and propeller spinner, if anyone has a photo of that area please post or let me know where it is.

This drawing suggests there was nothing:

Thanks, that confirms that the engine is in front  of the front bulkhead.
