Albatros D.III Jasta 11, Eduard 1/48

[jarosz92]

Hello,
I started on Eduard's Albatros D III. I will make M. von Richthoffen's plane (series D.1910-D.2200/16). I use Eduard's photo etched parts and a few handmade parts.

At the beginning seat.




And frames



And equipment of cockpit: fuel system, hand air pump, Bosch magneto starter. I made new board for valves ( Eduard's board is too small).




I made new control stick based on Windsock.


Then I found another drawings from 1919. This is polish description of the plane. In these drawings the stick is like in DV (not DII)
So I will make new.

Incredible is the first word that comes to mind, your attention to detail is amazing, it is hard to believe that some of these items are 1:48 scale, we don't see this much detail in larger scales. The fuel distribution panel is brilliant as is the control column, and to turn around and make a second one is a credit to you. Your seat is superb as is the pressure pump, this is going to be a build to follow very closely, very well done.

What you have done so far looks spectacular! If you ever decide to sell copies of those parts, I'll be your first customer. I can't wait to see the rest of the model.

Stunning scratch-building, Jarosz!  I am even more amazed that it is in
1/48th scale.  Absolutely first-class attention to detail. I am in awe of
modellers with such talents.  Thank you for sharing your work.

Cheers,
Ernie
