Hi everone!
My first post on the Flying Models thread, having observed and read many fascinating pages here I would like to pick your brains!
I've just acquired a half-completed 1/4 scale Albatros DV in skeletal form the maker having spent hours developing his own drawings and plans. I hope to finish the model and do it justice by detailing to the best of my ability.
Here's my question - are there any templates available or could anyone provide info regarding tho complex metal cowling covers and distinctive spinner. I have some printers litho plate but have had difficulty bending it / shaping it to my will, annealed or otherwise. Also, I'm tempted to plump for GTM's Lozenge for wings. Do Williams Bros still exist for 1/4 scale wheels, Spandaus? Are Proctor accessories the way forward?

Many thanks, Richard
