Thank you RAGIII. The change between two builds is a slow build, but one model can dry and the next will paint and glue.

The cockpit is ready. The air intake for the engine is selfmade.

Hello Radio

It will be especially interesting to see your build because I have one on the sidelines. You've certainly made a nice start.

Best wishes
Nigel

Hello Nigel
this model is from the duel combo set. The other plane was for a scatch build to a Fokker D VI. The decals were made from Peddinghaus Decals. I have send pictures for made some in scale 1:48. So I have decals for Boelkes Alb D II, Schapes Rol D VIa and for Fokker F I Serial 102 and 103.

Excellent start, Martin.  I'm going to enjoy watching your progress on this one.  This is a project I have planned for the future.
Cheers,
Bud
