I hoped posting would keep me motivated to plunder ahead inspite of the numerous "goof's" during final construction. My goal is simply to finsih A Kit. Period. If I do that ! I can worry about being Perfect next time.
I picked a Profile of Vzfw Kohler's Alb D.II in Feb 1917.

Greetings Mikey,
Nice choice.
Hopefully this will provide inspiration to others of us that just can't seem to finish a model, but I think that it's only going to work if you post some pictures of your progress!
I just started playing with (carving on) a thick winged 1/72" scale Albatros D.I/II. I wish that I had a drum sander!
Until I come up with a quicker way to thin the wings down I picked up an Albatros C.I vac-form as I knew thick wings would not be an issue!
I just remembered that I have an old 1/48" Albatros D.II with decals for "Vzfw Kohler's Alb D.II in Feb 1917", it's probably suffering from "Too Thick Wing Syndrome"!
Where's that damned barrel sander?
Keep us posted, FOKKERJ
P.S. I have fianally given up on perfect!
Maybe I can get something done now!
