RLWP Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Well, here goes. DFW Built the C.I in 1914, so she fits in right at the beginning of close air support. These were the aeroplanes, together with Rumplers and Halberstadts that started to work out what it was all about. So far, I've ordered an engine: A Lukgraph Benz Bz.III. It's a start! I'd be interested to know about books that cover this early two seater, so if you know of one - shout out!

RLWP Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 More purchasing: A block of Lime wood. and inside that block, I found this!! which with a bit of sanding turned into this: There was another purchase too, a sheet of 0.3mm aluminium sheet: For making upper panels: I'm not convinced by this sheet, it isn't very malleable. I suspect Litho plate is going to be a better choice Richard Greg W, BradG, Panzerwomble and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
