Hi guys
I am beginning work on another project, Eduard's 1/48 Albatros D. Va. I have read that the landing gear struts as provided in the kit are a little short and need to be lengthened or replaced if one hopes to achieve an accurate stance of the prototype aircraft. I don't have any scale plans of the D.Va at this time, Only the Windsock Datafile for the Albatros OEF D. III which is of no use as it differed from the D. V.
How much length do I need to add to the struts, and do I need to add this length to both parts of the "V" or just the front? I have read that anywhere from 2-3mm needs to be added, but where exactly and what length is it?
Thanks, hope to hear from you guys soon.
All the best
Chad
