Incredible work Allen. Inspiring me to add a few bits to the 'bugs' flat four engine. (Not there are a lot of electric s to add. One electrical wire to the carb area.)
Thank you Doug! I had a look at the destructions for your bug and it should be easy to add the 4 spark plug wires and the coil to distributor wire. I'm sure you can find some good reference pics on the web...Incredible work Allen. Inspiring me to add a few bits to the 'bugs' flat four engine. (Not there are a lot of electric s to add.

I do too Pete! Thank you Sir and that's the big prob with these old wing thingy's. The exposed upper motor half...Love that engine!

Easy Bro! We having another flashback to the 60's, are we??? It's Ok, I have them too Rick...Far out man!!!...Groovy!
Already printed off a few diagrams and images. I have the luxury of colours for the leads as many of the after market leads were multi coloured. However, to keep in in the 1960's vein I'll stick to black BUT!!! My biggest problem is finding something suitable to use in scale!!! Only started looking though so I'm sure something will pop up!!Thank you Doug!

Thank you Jim! I am having so much fun, one can't believe it. With the cooler weather, it makes scratchy easier too. Now, about those biccies, Sir.......You know they are not good for the girlish figure...Just had a catch-up of this exceptional build. Took two cups of tea and half a packet of biccies to take it all in. You are truly going the extra mile with this. Most impressed. Glad it's cooled down for you.
Thank you very much Mr. Scott! Uhhhh, are you running for office again Paul??? Just wondering why you are being so proper here. LOL!!!...Outstanding Mr. Dewire.
Thanks Bro! And I'm still ribbin' on...See below...Right, '60's ......Tripp'n Ribbin' on the wings Allen, keep it coming Sir!
Hey Doug, I had a look in the parts box and found some Tamiya cable from their detail-up parts series. The biggest size was 1 mm and probably too small for your bug. Just a thought Sir....Already printed off a few diagrams and images. I have the luxury of colours for the leads as many of the after market leads were multi coloured.

Much appreciated Mr. Smiff! My only worry is the wing extensions joins might crack. I guess then, it would be a cracker Andy...Just had a good catch up with this one Allen,a great read/look it was too,
The engine,as has been said,is excellent,and,the ribbing work is top notch imho, going to be another WW1 cracker mefinks .
Hey Buddy, good to see your smiling face here! Just trying to do what I gotta do to get this puppy done. Yea, for the most part they are straight and the decals will hide it well too...Just caught up a bit and that ribbing on the wings looks nice and straight
No need for excuses Allen - everything is looking tickety booOne thing I love the most about WWI planes is the fact they are not perfectly constructed. It gives you a little play room in the scratchy building.
Thank you kindly Mr. R! I only hope the CA does it's job and my Albatros doesn't end up looking like this after it's finished,Super stuff Mr D

Hey Bro, You can always count on my vote. I just need to know where to send it. Thanks for the kind words too Paul!Dude,
Great work mate. And I hope I can rely on your vote.
Thanks Dude 2! You know I am only shooting from the hip here and really haven't a clue what I'm doing. PM later...Great work Dude 1.
Just had a good catch up. Most impressive modelling all round .
Thanks buddy! I'm still trying to catch up with your 'Lorry' thang. Glad to see you got the Asparagus out of the cab Rick...Looks good from over here Allen!
Thank you Andy! To be honest, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm doing it...Does that make sense my friend???...Some brilliant work going in to this Allen, very impressive!
Thanks so much John! If all goes well, I might be able to shoot some color on the wings this weekend. Good to see you Sir...Excellent scratchy work going on here, Allen. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
John.
