I visited TVAL's hangar again yesterday - its my favourite place . The third Albatros reproduction (7343/17) was displayed with its engine panels off which provided an excellent opportunity to record all the engine 'plumbing'. The engine differs from that fitted to TVAL's first Albatros as it has water jacketed inlet manifolds, an option featuring in the Wingnut Wings kit.

There are 42 photos in the album here:

Here are a few photos to whet your appetite













If anyone wants a hi-res photo of any of the shots, just let me know which one.

Cheers
James
