Very nice indeed Alberto, and I wouldn't worry about the overlap, it very probably happened in 'real life' if pre-printed fabric was used to cover the wings.

After some time I put again my hands on the Albatros.
Firstly I ordered a new sheet of rib tapes, the other one was very brittle, I don't know why.
Here some pictures starting with upper surfaces
Very colourful indeed!
Lower surfaces, here most of the pink rib tapes are still pending
Cheers

Beautiful!
It's made me want to build an Albatross and a SE5A, although I have neither the time, or space to display them - and already have far too many un-built kits.

Saludos Luis Carlos,
Many thanks for your nice comment. But let me understand, which alleged error are you referring to? May be I can correct it.
Alberto
Lovely work so far!

Hola Alberto, I refer to the comment you made in your post # 99 (Feb.23'2015) by overlapping the decals from the lower surfaces making it obvious. Terry said it was also likely to happen in "real life".
I again congratulate the formidable paint job and finishes you're making in your Albatros.
Cordiali saluti.

Ok, I understand now.
By the way I found that the pink tape is opaque enough to cover any overlapping blue tape and that is very good.

Beautiful work. It makes me want to tackle a WW1 subject but I don't think I would ever do it as well as this.

Some more work done.
turn-buckles positioned on lower wings and the latter glued in place.
Engine in place as well.
A lot of details, including MGs still to be added.
It will be funny to get a good alignment between turn-buckles an rigging, will see ...
