What a day - found this project on this website with great photos:

TVAL Albatros D.II Photos

Isn't it wonderful, when some people with the right knowledge and abilities come together
and find a way to finance such projects?

How cool is it to see one bright and shiny and new - especially when they build them as true to specs as possible.

Ok. Clearly I should make a rule for myself that I do not post before TWO cups of coffee.

The big wing lowering was from the DI to the DII. Just consulted my reference book on WW1 German aircraft.

The craftmanship of the crew at TVAL is simply out of this world. It's amazing how everything is brought back to original spec, even the wiring jackets, tubing and fittings. Nothing modern is used.

That in itself is mind-boggling... let alone how simply beautiful everything that make is.

But all those pics and not a single pic of the wings/tail from behind! I was dying to see the actual pattern and colors they chose.

Hmm... what might such a Project cost? I guess, well above a million Dollars, right?
I'm sure you buy one of those, when you already have your own Collection of Sports Cars and don't want to invest in a 3rd Yacht ahoy biggrin

I love scale modelling, so being able to build that must be heaven.
