With some builds coming close to end minus the Pfalz D.III . It is time to start planing the next build .
The kit I will be useing for this one is Lone Star Models vac kit . Gregory was able to help with some info , but I'm still lacking certain info for the project . What I'm looking for is how the tail booms are attached to the tail plane and some better pic's of how the rudder was fixed in place . It will be some time before I do start . I just need more ref's . If any one is able to help out that would be most welcome .
