[8D]Tx very much Oberst, now I see exactly what I must to do. Hopefully I arrived some moments ago from a airshow in Seville,
http://www.acro3d.com/public/phpbb3/...11834&start=30 , and all things came OK, so after a good cleaning of my yak 55M gasser, I plan to tear the monokote over the white bottom strips to change the Pattese cross to the balken kreuz to match the versión of the last Ritchtoffen´s airplane and do your reinforcement mods.
I just received a german pilot 1/5 scale bust of Ace of Iron to use on the DR-1, its very detailed but it must be painted, even that´s is no problem and also there is some fun on that; ( at least for us, I supose ). I love these pilots cause they´re very well detailed and light too. I used some mix of a WWII american bust pilot and another parts to do a full body on my last scale P-47 proyect e-conversion.
