Aviatik DI 1/18th scale
« on: November 09, 2017, 08:08:18 AM »
This is going to be a huge plane..! Drawings from Albatros productions, enlarged from 1/48 to 1/18 scale.
Working on the research now.

WOW UFAG! That's a quite ambitious project!
I will follow it closely.

It seems there's an Aviatik DI craze lately on the forum!

As most of you already know, I scratch build an Avitik DI in 1/48 many years ago, learning a lot along the way.
eg, I super glued the brass parts in stead of soldering..!!
In the larger 1/18th scale, I will be able to fine tune the details ( and more detail), and have more materials to my disposal.
Now, somewhere hidden, deep in some hide out, I do have copies of the Original building drawings, obtained from the Technische Museum in Vienna.
I will be looking for them as we speak..!
