Title: Quick Albatros question
Post by: Michael Scarborough on May 11, 2015, 08:18:21 AM

 Regarding what I believe to be the metal attachment brackets at the tailplane leading edge.....IE, The little triangular brackets at the very front of the horizontal stabilizer…

Are these  metal  and painted the iconic Albatros gray-green color? I gather that is the case from reading Rowan's instructions that come with the lozenge camouflage, but I just want to be sure  these are the parts he means.

Cheers from NYC,

 Michael

Justin,  these  overly long and wordy answers really must cease.

I think it's a thin metal sheet painted.

If you zoom in to one of my snaps you can see the edge of it.
