Thanks to all for the generous comments they are appreciated!
So I have made SMALL progress on the DH2. I have attached the Booms and ailerons. Next up is some work with oils prior to working on the tail surfaces and further rigging.

Rick,

Two at once in 1/32nd scale.  Wow.  I would lose track and forget details on one (probably both).  Looking very nice indeed.

Thanks for the comment Stuart. In point of fact I have a couple of parts on both of these that I "Should" have attached before rigging. Also it is Three at once. The Albatros DII had strut  failure shortly after this photo was taken. I was lucky that I had an extra set of cabanes and the Metal interplane struts from the Encore kit. I have since cleaned up and re-drilled the locating holes. This was a contributing factor to My purchase of the Vertigo Jig!!!

:o to me that's about equal with attaching the top wing in terms of not-small progress! She's looking great, Rick!

Actually the usual WNW precise fit made this part pretty straightforward. We shall see how the rigging goes  ;D

Thanks Jeroen! I am working on painting the fin and rudder prior to adding the tail assembly.

I am painting the tail surfaces on the DH2 and working on re-mounting the upper wing on the Albatros DII. IN the meantime I have progressed on the Albatros DIII. I need to add wing crosses, touch up, especially the painting on the wires, and do oil work/ weathering. I also need to work on the fit of the spinner and prop.

I've been missing a few updates, don't know how. See you made amazing progress on the whole lot, the Alb D.III is ready for flying line and the D.H.2 and Alb. D.II are showing already a great look.

Thanks for dropping in and the comment Giuseppe! Always appreciated  ;D

PS: Does anyone know which prop is represented here? I am sure I must have the Logo on an Albatros DV sheet from WNW!

So I made a little progress today on the Roden DIII. I have added the wing crosses from the WNW MvR Albatros kit that included decals for a Roden DIII. It may be just Me but I think the wing crosses are pulling the whole thing together  8)
