Hi Bo,

congratulations on successful launch of your Flugzeugwerke webshop.

I was given the honour to be one of the first customers by ordering the 1/144 Mercedes D.IIIa's and have to say that all of my fellow modellers from CZ were astonished of the quality.

I wish you a lot of success with your products and many satisfied customers. Btw. 2 of those engines have changed the owner already. :) Very soon they will appear in a completed model.

Cheers

Ondra

Brilliant work Bo and well deserved you make some recompense or hopefully profit from all the effort you put into it.

Now a thought. How easy would it be to rehash the magneto's to the other style as fitted to later DVII's as per the BMW Engine in WNW's kit. I'm refering to the front cover mainly which is conical in the centre & the plug leads come out the upper edge as opposed to the terminals on the front. I modded a couple of default mags on one of my DVII's to that type.

I'm sure going to order some of your parts for a future project I have in mind.

Yeah, late style magneto* is in the works (planning stage anyway.) I'm actually going to go visit the Knowlton Fokker in a few weeks and I plan on trying to get extensive pics of the magneto as well as some other details (oil pump, h2o pump, etc)

*I don't know if these were still typ ZHC mags with just a different distributor plate or another type of Bosch mag altogether. The interwebz so far have not been helpful unearthing these secrets.

I knew ;D

With Your skills and possibilities it was only a matter of time.
It's so great, that we have still more and more "little things" to choose. Big manufacturers as Eduard or Aires are not interested in supporting WNW's models, but we have here quite strong team now :)

All the best for You Bo!

i made a fuel tank for the albatros d.1 thru d.iii series, mabe easier to just cast resin rather than print as there is not much detail it these parts. the problem is that the whole engine compartment is simplified so its just a top half of the tank to stick on top of the engine mount frame as in the above photo. making one for a d.v/dva would be easy too. problem is that the walls have to be so thick to be injection molded so everthing inside is made smaller to fit.its an age old problem,the smaller the scale the more out of scale the walls of the craft are.
