Just catching up Rick: great to see that you are going for another double build: I could not do that as I would lose track of what needed doing next on each model! As for retirement - I have been retired for nearly a decade and I still cannot seem to find the time to speed up to your rate of construction - life just seems to get in the way! So more power to your elbows on the modelling table as you continue to show us how....!!

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen. My last two Dual builds ended up as singles but I think I can nail these two down.

Thanks Steve. So far I have missed the start also  Far enough along on the Fokker now so I actually did a TINY bit of work on the Albatros today!

Red!

I have to admit that I REALLY like the red option! That being said I am afraid black is the more logical option given that Red was the province of MvR and Jasta 11 at the time this aircraft was around in JG1.
RAGIII

Well it is not all red and plenty of the others in the group had red to some degree on them . Go for the red.

Thanks Amigo. I May take your advice! I have made a Meager beginning on the builds. I have filled and sanded the Mold release circles in the Albatros Fuselage halves and also the incorrect, for an early version DV under fuselage nose panels. I have penciled in the approximate location of the new for to aft panel lines I can see in drawings. Any further info is appreciated! I also did some BASIC construction on the engines for both the Alby and the Pfalz.

PS: From the WNW archive photos. If not Okay I will remove. Shows the panel lines I can see!

I have received some info from Bo on the underside fuselage panels. Seven planks needed so I have a little better idea of how to locate them. He also noted that the Oil Pump access hatch needs to be moved back behind rib station #4. Now I just need to figure out which hatch that one is

Nice progress Rick,

You’re a machine! Do you display your finished models? You must be running out of space...

I missed the panel conversation but it's a nice start to the project

Thanks Guy. I do display them and yes running out of space. All of My 1/48th Models are on the chopping block  So have room for about 15 more 1/32nd kits

Thanks Steve.The panel discussion can be found by following this link: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=10298.0


 One thing to note is that the aforementioned Hatch is actually in the correct place for a DV with the 160 HP Mercedes DIII so no need to change it on this one

That is a good start Rick - more than I seem to have been able to accomplish recently. One advantage of scratch building is that I do not have to worry about ejector pin marks!

Thanks Stephen. You are correct about those Ejector Pins. I have also never heard you say that a particular Aircraft  was unbuildable because of Fatal Flaws in the kit

Two interesting birds here, Rick.  Looking forward to seeing your progress. (You're going to have them done in about two weeks, right?)
