First step was to cut out the fuselage halves and sand them to fit. Then came the floorboard and internal panels and then the seats. One of the requirements for the C-class two-seaters was that they have a minimum of 150 horsepower. The Albatros C.I I built awhile ago came with both the 150hp Benz and 160hp Mercedes engines. The particular plane I built had the Benz engine so I just happened to have a nice little model of a 160hp Mercedes D.III engine in my spares box. It is noticably larger than the 120hp engine that comes with the 'B' models. It took a little digging and scraping to make it fit, but it was worth it.

The interior is done and ready for assembly.
