Engine and interior painted and installed last night, lower wings assembled and drying.
I spent most of the day out running errands and practicing for the show in just two days.
While the Albatros C.III bears a resemblance to the C.I at first glance (actually most of the early German two-seaters look a lot alike), the C.III was based on the earlier B.III and there were quite a few differences between the different 'C' types. I originally bid on one kit on eBay, then found another for an even better 'Buy It Now' price. I bought the second one and refused to bid any more on the first. Unfortunately no one else bid on it at all so I ended up with two. The bright side is that I can build this one specifically for the earlier period when they hadn't yet installed the synchronized gun for the pilot, and do the second one later.
A frightening side-note to that is that while I already have two Hansa-Brandenburg C.Is, I now have an opportunity for three more. For the next period I'll need the one with the forward-firing gun in the "baby coffin", but I've just discovered that one of the Polish resin-kit manufacturers makes the late-war versions with the 200hp and then 230hp Hiero engines...and they do look very different from the early ones.
