The Radiator looks even better in place on the Model. Have fun rigging.

Scary Part Phase 1 (SPP1) - attaching the upper wing.  I'd heard from others that this is a delicate task on the Albatros, more so than other WNW biplanes, and they were right. 
Also included is a final unobstructed view of the radiator underside complete with adjustment rod and lever.
SPP2 will be to finish attaching and tensioning the rigging lines while SPP3 will be attaching the undercarriage.













Cheers,
Eric

Great build in all the aspects. Fine colours, especially wood, detailing, rigging... A pleasure to follow.

This is a lovely build Eric, with so many details and beautiful effects to inspire us! Well done! I do like the jig - it seems to work amazingly well.... ATB, Marc.

The scary parts are done and the end is in sight!  Remaining tasks are to finish painting the wheels and propeller, get them attached, and some final touchup painting.
Also maybe a little dirt on the wing underside where the wheels would fling crud.













Cheers,
Eric

Without question one of the Nicest Albatros builds I have seen Eric. Well Done!
