Question: do you see the amount of "warping" in the Alb C.III?

I brought this up before at ww1.models.org onlist.

Does this mean the original Eduard kit has it completely accurate?

It would seem so.

Many thanks, Mark -and- Tom Solinski.
Excellent shots!

I realy hope so, because as you can see from this photo I did NOT flatten out all that dihedral.
Only because I had no idea that it was a factor

BTW - some of the photos in the collection are mislabeled. Sanjeev has asked that anybody who finds errors/omisions contact him with corrections:

Mark, have been so pre-occupied looking at your artwork I never saw your true 3D stuff.
WOW. Nice work!

Craig, later Pfalzes are a favorite! -
A friend is building an AC Bristol f2b right now and it started me thinking, seeing that Pfalz and a Biff in my mind's eye:
Why in the world do a dropped lower wing like that?
-restricts access to that area of the fuselage for mainentance
-add't'l rigging, struts
-complicated
-less strength (?) in wing root area, that is, the combo of fuse & wing is stronger?

It's never made sense...anyone? Craig?

The ailerons on the model should have more "washout" that is seen in the photo. That gives the trailing edge of the wingtips even more flair. It is seen to full effect in the Alb. C.III photo.

Nice assortment... even though many are mislabelled. That won't be a problem to update. I'll send a list to Sanjeev w/ corrections.
