thanks for reply Bo!
I am very aware of the engine mount not being quite true to Original, it is a compromise considering the materials I am working with ( and the materials not quite willing to work with me..)....and honestly...I got a little @#$%^&^ when trying to replicate the mount as it should be....so I left it a little bit in the middle...shame on me..:-)

Absolutely incredible work! No complaints from me re the engine mount as I don't normally model for God  ;D

Thanx RAGIII...!
The fuel panel was produced for an 1/4 scale albatros from proctor, which I never completed and sold to an other enthousiast ( wing span over 2 meters, house too small..)
I produced the panel and kept it..

Of course I hadn't seen your next post with the mounts much closer to how they actually are. A fine compromise.

Anyway, it's wonderful stuff, I know what a pig this kit is (at least the metal bits)

fuel valve is great.

Make sure you get the kind WITHOUT the extended handles! Extended handle type not fitted to actual albatrossen.

p.s. I know what you mean -- I spent weeks modifying the WNW 1:32 Spandaus, then Costas put out his little gems which just blew what I did away.
