D.III to OEF? G'day, all-- OK, Shane's caveat about the pitfalls of plans for planes accepted, here's my modeling question. What if anything would make the Eduard 1/48 Alb. D.III an inadvisable choice for conversion to the A-H variant, assuming one has parts for the various noses and an AD engine--and, of course, that one isn't willing to wait until Eduard release their own version?

The original was done that way after all. Just make sure your paints are compatable beforehand. Combining acrylic and oil based paints is never a good idea and some ostensibly oil based paints actually use a synthetic medium that is incompatable with other manufacturers oil based paints.

So I say, just use (color choice deleted) to paint Voss' (aeroplane part deleted) and build the thing to the best of your abilities.
