Getting in the Peter PIg pilot was more of a challenge than expected. Getting the pilot into a satisfactory position wasn't the easiest but the real challenge was getting the glue into his cockpit. I think I better invest in a bent tip syringe for future similar situations!

Another great looking Albatros. I don't think anyone does those weathered-looking fuselages better than you Pete.

And excellent and practical idea! Rep gun jammed.
