Great progress on both builds, Rick. I may have said it before but the wood grain on the Alby looks great. Looks like the black Baron is almost complete. Fine additions to your collection.

Greatly appreciated Ken! The Pfalz is ready for rigging and I have worked on props and some other details today. Hopefully both will continue with no issues!

Just bringing the Albatros up to date. The upper wing is attached and the prop and spinner painted although just resting in place...as are the ailerons and elevator.

The major rigging is installed on both the Pfalz and Albatros. I must admit that I had a Mishap with the Albatros( My own Making) as one of the V struts popped loose at the upper front location. Instead of just placing a drop of superglue to hold it in place I hit it repeatedly with Tamiya extra thin. This essentially Melted the thing and I ended up doing a strut replacement

Still need to touch up the leading edge by the strut on the upper wing. Next up will be painting the wires and adding My usual Smoke and Mirrors Turnbuckles

All of your models are very well done. Exceptional work.
I'm curious as to the turnbuckles you mention , you saw me use decal strips for manifold wrapping , turnbuckles were wrapped in doped linen as well sometimes , is this what you are alluding to?
