First step is the interior, after a bit of exam of the details of the fuselage given by the manufacturer I decided to remove them and make them all new. It's not to hard to rebuild them, and by removing them the paint is much easier.

After removing the details I started to paint the interior, and made a " wooden " lath from Evergreen styren to replace the originals.

Hi ! The work on my Albatros continued. While the putty and sanding is in progress I decided to make a new propeller. It's made like the real thing, from laminated wood using the plastic from the box as master.

But, as always, I wasn't satisfied. The look of the propeller with six layer of wood didn't seem good as it should so I made another one, this time with 11 layers.....And I'm satisfied with this one  :)

Thank you !

And here comes the continuation on my Alba. The wooden surfaces on both sides are done, I will make a few fine adjustments to equalize the shades and then comes the first layer of gloss cote.

In the meantime new goodies for my Albatros arrived, both are product of Gaspatch models, air speed indicator and turnbuckles. First the air speed indicator, i was speechless when I saw this...

And the turnbuckles, these are made from metal, and they look good also, nothoing spectacular but good, most important this is very useful update

Thank you all for your kind words and thanks Nico Braas for this great picture. In the meantime I equalized the wood paint on both sides, now I'm satisfied with the look, looks more natural.

So I moved on the down and upper surfaces. First I replaced all the lost details during sanding and started to paint. Mine method of painting is very slow, if you are interested in I will share it with all of you.

The slow hull painting and drying is finally over so i can continue my work on the Alba. I prepared all the places for turnbuckles, fuselage and wings as well ( here I 'm showing only the fuselage ). First I marked the places to be drilled, for even distance between the holes I used 1/32 scale riveter for marking and then just drilled the holes preparing by this the place for turnbuckles.

While the putty on the big cat is drying I continued the fight with my Alba  :)

I started to paint the national insignia, started with the white, with a slight shading

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba_zps5adfdf4f.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba_zps5adfdf4f.jpg.html)

And then disaster stroke......

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba1_zpsa5d3e173.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba1_zpsa5d3e173.jpg.html)

In the meantime the propeller is detailed up with photo - etched parts from the box and finished

And finally some visible progress on my Alba....... The national markings are painted on, they need some fine adjustments but first they will be protected by a layer of gloss cote.

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba1_zps8578ed34.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba1_zps8578ed34.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba3_zpsa9d9cdda.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba3_zpsa9d9cdda.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba2_zps30c26ad5.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba2_zps30c26ad5.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba_zps11c81947.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba_zps11c81947.jpg.html)

Next step was the painting of the canvas surfaces ( only the sides with the roundels ), I put on black base to give a bit of depth and made the areas shaded a bit to break up the monotony of relatively big surfaces

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba9_zps1c9e2b52.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba9_zps1c9e2b52.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba8_zps398c1da8.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba8_zps398c1da8.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba11_zpscbd18661.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba11_zpscbd18661.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba10_zps79daf486.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba10_zps79daf486.jpg.html)

And how it looks completed, before fine adjustments

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba13_zps2b49c2cd.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba13_zps2b49c2cd.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba12_zps3ef02b06.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba12_zps3ef02b06.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba14_zps24dac8c2.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba14_zps24dac8c2.jpg.html) (http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba15_zpsb207e1f6.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba15_zpsb207e1f6.jpg.html)

Since I don't have decals for this specific plane, and I believe they doesn't even exist especially in 1/48 scale I had no other choice but to make them myself.

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba4_zpsec31fa71.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba4_zpsec31fa71.jpg.html)

After printing the decals I noticed the printer didn't paint the black areas evenly so I had to paint it over. The difference is clearly visible......

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba5_zpse501fb86.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba5_zpse501fb86.jpg.html)

The decal paper is clear so I had to paint the white areas on the fuselage on places where the decals will come

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba6_zps90e2450d.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba6_zps90e2450d.jpg.html)

As I found out later the white area are too small for the scull so a bit of extra work will be needed here also

(http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv347/modellius_senta/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/th_alba7_zps00199da5.jpg) (http://s698.photobucket.com/user/modellius_senta/media/albatros%20DIII%20Oefag%20Ljubljana/alba7_zps00199da5.jpg.html)

The work continued. After a long research about the paint of K.u.K. Oefag Albatros in this particular scheme - natural wood and canvas with green ( or sometimes green and brown ) patches I found out that the K.u.K Oeffag's which was later used by the Serbian air force was with green patches applied on two ways, with sponge or sprayed. I decided to make my Albatros in the second scheme, sprayed patches, here it is after spraying patches and two layers of gloss cote. Thank's No.1 in help with the research  :-salut

I made a wash with burnt umber to give a little depth and worn out look to the canvas, to see the difference between with the done and undone I made the picture of the both, side by side, the upper wing half is the the treated one, not clearly visible on the picture, much better in life

Thank you mate. I started to work on the engine, as first step I put together the " rough " plastic parts leaving the detailing for later.

Eduard made a poor attempt to make the cam followers, this is what they made

And this is how it should look like.....

So had no choice, with one elegant hand move I throw the Eduard's part in the trash can I started scratching. First the springs ( the lighter is for size comparison )

The work continued with the cam followers, but first I had to make a punch tool from injection needle for the ends of the springs on the cam followers.

And some more detailing, i made the sparks, the thicker wire is the spark while the thinner one is the cable. The connections are soldered just in case....

Thanks chaps !

As I found out there was two types of step plate for pilot on the D III Oeffag's, one type with the perforated plate as a small door to close the " hole " ( it was a simple mechanism, the plate-door had only a hinge with a spring and it opens when the foot is putted in and closes after ) and the other type was without this " door " just the hole was left on the fuselage. I decided to make the first one. I used aluminium kitchen foil for this task. First step was to find the " master " for the perforation, the guarding mesh for rear window for GMC CCKW 353 Truck in 1/35 scale fitted perfectly. I punched out a 2.5 mm circle from the foil and just simply push it on the mesh so it took the shape of the mesh, then I split it on half and put it on it place on the fuselage. This is how it looks :

Thank you all !

Unfortunately I didn't have much time for modeling lately, but in a few past days I did some progress. I started to detail the engine, first step was to make the oil cooler pipes. The base is copper wire, all connections are soldered, the detailing up ( rubber hose connection ) is made from Tamiya masking tape.

Lack of time, and unfortunately inspiration as well made it's toll ......

However I'm back in the saddle again and I continued my work on alba.

As my lovely wife says I'm never satisfied with what I found in the box, so why should it be different this time ?  :) Eduard give nice photo-etched parts but I don't like when the round cross section objects are flat so I used Eduard's parts only as a base

And I started to put the turnbuckles on their place, this is very needy process but well worth time and energy !
