Albatros W.4 Engine?

[Chuckt5]

Is it safe to assume the W.4 used the Mercedes D.III?

It certainly looks that way in the few ref pics I have (Squadron's Albatros in action)

Thank you. It looks that way to me as well.

I ordered one of WNW's engine sprues to use in my (hopefully) upcoming W.4 build in 1/32.

Chuck:

I think the only difference is in the radiator. The early W4s had the older style radiator tank in line above the engine. The later ones had the flush-mounted wing radiator in the top wing. Just depends on which W4 you're modeling.

[kornbeef]

yes pretty much follow the same as the standard DII format for rads and such and it can't be far out. Early Ear rads with header tank above the cylinders or rad in the wing,

Thanks guys.thats kind of what I though. I plan on making an early version with the cheek mounted radiators.
