I'm arrived at one of the possible problems with that kit... The rudder is not fitting well on the fuselage. I reinforced the part/fuselage assembly with hard wire. Making the hole provoked a fissure between the two half fuselages, that was repaired with some cyano. Now a long and delicate sanding phase will occur soon...

90 degree angle sanding is always so hard :-wall, but you'll soon have this part behind you, I'm sure.

Well, I will take my time on that "obstacle", because there is a difference of dimensions between the rudder and the base on the fuselage.

Sanding will be time-consuming here. Hardly time-consuming...

Sanding done. Some rescribing was, of course, needed...

Thank you both of you!
For the lines, I use as guide a little bit of old Dymo tapes. There were strong enough to be used as guide, and self-adhesive but easily removable.

Well...

I like the Albatros D.XI.

... But I don't like the kit of the Albatros D.XI...  :-kr

First airbrushing of primer revealed myriads of little bubbles in the resin, not visible without the primer. Plus a joint visible on the fuselage... I've filled all that bothering stuff with cyano.

Sall: sanding again...  :-wch
