Finally ready to get started on the next one: An Aviatik B.II, another "unarmed" two-seater, this time Austro-Hungarian. These early aircraft were technically unarmed, the observer carrying a rifle or carbine. If they were fitted with a machine gun the observer was still in the front cockpit, so he had to fire over the pilot's head.

I still haven't found the compressor, but everything else is in place, and since this is another vac kit I have a lot of cutting and sanding ahead anyway.

The Kit
