Mmmm.... it sounds like folks here are tired to hear me screaming Naglo at
the slightest chance!

Been talking about the making of plans with Joel and someone else (sorry, my
memory is weak) as I have a WW1 Aero with a rear view photo of the Naglo and
lines could be taken from it.

LOL! You are going to make me FINISH a kit? Mordious!

>     Would an Albatros D.V fuselage work?

Yes. In fact that was the cause of Albatros suing Naglo. It had a different
tail shape and a keel for the lowest wing panels,but apart from that I'm
pretty sure they stole the fuselage design.

Clueless. Maybe I need to check a better picture.

Must check the WW1 aero picture. Unfortunately my whole library is packed
and in the new house where we still don't live in. And the scanner too.

Seems like that, one can't be too sure unless the vanishing points are
found.

I'm shocked!
D.
flabbergasted too
