I've had this kit in the stash for some time now, this seemed like a good time to build it.
i will finish it in the markings on the box lid.

OOPS, looks like I put in the same image twice. This is the first time I've ever posted an image so hopefully I'll get the hang of it.

The other image was just a photo of the box lid, no loss.

Don't sweat about the pic's,it took me a week of pestering moon puppy before I got the hang of it. :blush:

I fixed it Greg. This is going to be a great build and welcome.

The kit contains two Albatros built D-VIIs with photo etch for each. You get four fusalages, two early and two with later modifications. One of the leftovers will probably replace the coresponding parts of a Roden kit I have.

I've been working slowly on the bits which will go into the fusalage. Here are a few photos.

These are the fusalage halves with the lozenge decal applied.

Next is the cockpit floor. A blurry image, I hope my photography will improve with practice.

This is the instrument panel. The prepainted photoetch looks pretty good but the plastic is very nice too. I chose the photoetch on this project as I have zero experiance with it.

Next are a couple of shots of the engine. It is not as well done as the Roden engine but very little will be seen when the fusalage is closed, I am not removing any of the panels. The pe placard is a nice touch.

It has taken a while to get to this point but it should go fairly quickly until it is time to put the lozenge decals on the wings. Next update will have the fusalage closed up.

Great start Greg, and um - welcome to the wonderful world of Pe!!! :D

watch the pieces carefully when cut off - they just love to vanish without a trace !!
 
Yes Phil, luckily they provide at least eight of the levers for the instrument panel. You need 4 I have one I didn't use, Fortunatly the other pieces used so far are fairly large and bend well without breaking.

Greg
 
I haven't had to much time to work on the DVII but I did get the cockpit together, close up the fuselage and get the bottom wing on. So far the fit has been pretty good but I did need to use a clamp around the cockpit, I think I should have sanded down the ammo box a bit more.
