John, very nice start there indeed.
Oh yes... the tolerances I remembered from the 1st Albatros I built the fuselage halves needed a good squeeze to close up. Not masked though Mike. This time I scraped 'em out with a micro chisel.
Moving forward in the fuselage I got the next bulkhead done with he fuel tank and magazines. Are they called bulkheads or formers inside a fuselage? Started in on the engine too. hard to see in the pic but the valve rockers arm springs that are nothing more than tiny pegs on the cylinders where replaced with springs made from copper wire. A little dry brush will make them visible down the road.
Before you all jump on me about the ejector pin marks i am adjusting my philosophy from, "I fix them because I know they are there." to, "If they won't be seen they won't be fixed."
