Congratulations on this gem, Frank! Uncredible sparkplugs and ignition wires, also the tank is a nice idea!

Highest regards
Jörg

How do you do this Frank? The details simpley leave e without words.... and I think that I will give up modelling and take up reading or something similar.

Ok, now I see what you were talking about in Augsburg... you are a mad man, Frank, an impressing mad man! I can’t wait to see the Albatros finished — so sad that so much of the engine is covered up by the fuselage parts.

I was missing most of this wonderful build, I'm always amazed by the number and perfection of the tiny details you pack in your planes.
And now looking forward to the complete Alby-boat.
Ciao

Thank you Jörg, Stephen, Rick, Robin, Andreas and Giuseppe! Your words mean a lot to me.

Even if the ignition wires are made of copper, the engine will not start!

How do you do this Frank?

With good light under my roof-light, tweezers, a lot of patience, good music and thin copper wire from a silicone cable

Stephen, PLEASE DO NOT, I will miss your great scratch builds!

Andreas, good to know that you are back at home safely. It was nice to meet you.

It looks like a big progress, but there is still a lot on the ToDo list. And the wood on the fuselage will need some time, if I do this with oils. May be I'm trying wood decals for the first time, which are in ma stash already for a looong time.

Cheers,
Frank

That is a real shame that so much of your wonderful handiwork is now permanently hidden. I really do think that you should mould half of the fuselage in clear plastic so that observers can see and appreciate properly your modelling skills.

Thank you to all of you!

I should wait to gather more information from your build!

Stephen, that's why I'm doing build reports! So the whole world and me can see later what is inside

May be I should build another Vector engine on a wooden frame and put it in front of the model, like my Benz Bz.IV.

Not much progress, started to sand the fuelage and removed details outside.

Cheers,
Frank

I am far from being convinced that this is all correct what I did, but maybe it‘s a little help:
