| This was a beautiful build from D Fell early this year. |

| This will be a fun build! Lots of details to add and I think the DH4 used a four bladed prop too! |

| Interesting question, Bob. Of the biplane I have built, only the Laird Solution did not have them. Curtis Hawk and Stearman did.

| Thank you bobgood - glad you were able to answer your question as I hadn’t a clue :) Have a plastic Albatros D11 model kit (unmade) and some books as reference and as far as I know have attached all wires. Regards |

| ....I've just checked! The Albatross did not need the flying/landing wire bracing. So this model is 100% perfect, as we would expect from Dfell. |

| Very nice indeed! Super job. A question... In the Tiger Moth that I learnt to fly, in 1960, "Acorns" (steamlined alloy tubes) were in place at the crossing points of the Flying & Landing wires. These were to limit resonance & vibration. Did aircraft of the Albatross period employ these too? |

| Wow! |

| Beautiful.

| Thank you edtherenderman. You should have a go - there are various kits to suit your skills and doing plane builds means you’re not a novice. The web site I use is modelshipworld.com and like this site there are a lot of helpful builders. |

| Thank you edbecky - will do so |

| Look under Guillow's series 200 DH4. |

| This is very impressive! I've built a lot of Revell and Heller large scale sailing ships (I have two in my office right now) so I can understand the patience and attention to detail it takes to do these. But I have never tried one in wood, although I always wanted to. It seems like a giant leap up in effort and skill. This is a fine example. Thanks for sharing. |

This is the reason why I take so long to do the Albatros - keep doing boat builds |

Next project. Could not find a model title to put this under. |

At last – finished. All rigged / cockpit windscreen done plus some vents or cowl covers. The vents were 3D printed. Again thanks for looking and the comments. |
