Much head scratching and air turning blue but have finally got the top wing on,engine ancillaries added and a start on the rigging. I've been using monofilament but will have to use EZ line for the nose to wing rigging as mono broke too easily with my clumsy handling. The bottom of the lower wing will be the last to put decals on for a variety of reasons. Operation cover up is taking place down there. >:(

Looking good! Always nice to get that top wing on!
Had to fix the car and around the house, but hopefully this evening I can finish my Lozenge decals and go on to the rib tapes, as well. Thank for the inspiration :)

After a break to make an Airfix Spitfire mk lla in a GB elsewhere it's time to get on with the Albatros. Top wing decalling is now complete and  just some varnish needed to hold it all together.



Next up will be the tail assembly with control wires. Should be fun

I've been away from the bench of late but back to work. Control horns now fitted on to the rear elevators and I've assembled the U/C prior to fitting to the fuselage.
I've learnt a lot during this build and I'll approach the next one quite differently. Drilling out mounting points for the U/C prior to pretty much else will be one of them as trying to do it once the wings are on is not exactly a doddle!!
