Yes, very nice work, I'm looking forward to seeing your Albatros build. I also have an DVa on order, just been having alot of problems getting it shipped. |

I was lucky. You can only reach the island by causeway which was flooded by the sea.I crossed 15 minutes before safe crossing time as sun was due to rise. |

Underside airbrushed and masked. First coat up top.Ordered three planes today, Albatros DVa, Fokker Eindekker and Monocoupe 90A. Albatros is next project. |

Hows the Rat coming on John? I've enjoyed watching the build. I've just ordered the Albatross D-Va from golden age reproductions. I'm hoping to sheet it rather than tissue as my wife wants a display model for the dining room. Any tips?

Managed to get the Engine rocker fairings glued and gave the whole plane a few coats of Krylon. Busy setting the tailplane and fin in place. Then to coat it with primer and an attempt at airbrushing. |

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Hopefully someone can help me? I an going to seal the spit with Krylon and want to finish with my airbrush and enamels. Can anyone recommend a primer??? |

Looks great to me also. Nice cover job! I like the exhaust manifolds. That took some work. |

I don't see anywhere where it needs to be shrunk. Great job. |

The plans are quite precise. The quality of balsa, canopy and prop are excellent.Supplied with grey tissue also but i prefer to use silkspan.Luckily there was a program on the history channel about the Battle of Britain memorial flight with some good close ups of them refurbishing the spits, so I now have the reference material needed. |

Finally got it covered. Still need to water shrink the tissue on fuselage. I also had problems with paper fillets not the correct shape but thats the only problem with this kit. |

Its coming on well. Its all sanding, carving and shaping then its onto covering.Don't know wether to dope the silkspan obn or try a glue stick as ive never tried it before. |
