Thank you Guy, Giuseppe & Lance.

I am proud of this one Lance, it was so much more complicated than I initially thought.
So many parts that needed alteration, correction or needed to be scratched.
The converted exhaust for the Daimler Mercedes D.III Engine being the most challenging.
I know I need this to keep the motivation continuing, but when finally finished, this also makes me even more content with the result!

Kent,
That’s a lovely kit bash you’ve done there.
I agree, sticking floats on a variant of a fighter certainly makes a difference to the look.  I much prefer an Albatross W4 to any of the other mid variant Albatross fighters.

Great job mate!

Cheers,

Hugh

Kent , few issues came up for you during the build but you over came those with out any difficulty and produce one very outstanding model  :)

Congrats on very beautiful build ! But I think you need to add a sopwith 1 1/2 strutter float plane ...that would be the cats meow  ;)

The floats make it a much more interesting aircraft.

This is a great conversion Kent, and beautifully detailed!

I admire the way you solved the problem with the oil tank and the LMG.

Just noticed this.
What a brilliant job Kent. I can't see how it could have been built any better than your effort.
