On slightly shortened rudder horns I soldered 0.5mm brass tube, he says. As if it would be nothing really worth mentioning. Frank! You make me crazy.... I need your little 5cm fairy tale dwarfes that do the soldering work for you.  :o

Excellent work on those elevator horns, Frank.  You must work under a microscope!

Dankeschön! :)

This is going to be your best to date!
Lance, the Albatros has elegant curves and looks great, but again the best? :o
I try to learn and improve with every project, but the success depends also on the original aircraft and quality of the kit. The kit is so great and I wonder why it was never released again after initial release 2003? The moulds lent to Gavia (released with new decals) and lost? Gavia is out of business now. Really pitty!

I must admit I broke a tube from the rudder horn while mounting the turnbuckle. Now some CA has to hold it firmly.

And nice to see you back here, Ryan!


Now it is a biplane :) and the next step are the rigging lines.

Cheers,

If you taught a class on this I would pay.

What a wonderful little jewel.

Great work, Frank.  Makes me want to do one in 1/32 scale.

Have you given any thought about how to avoid using the brass tubing sleeves to secure rigging lines to turnbuckles and eyelets?  I think they look out of scale on my models and couldn't think of a method to replace them with something smaller.  On the actual aircraft, the rigging wire is looped back upon itself and another wire binds them together, like the black wire in the photo below:



I have thought about looping the line back upon itself and CA gluing, but I haven't tried it and I don't know how strong it would be.
