Took the top wing and cabanes off, removed the pilot and the old engine, which was very wrong. Sanded off the old decals and scraped off the dried glue from the old strut mountings.
The Meikraft kit came with a very nice model of the Mercedes D.II, including photo-etched brass wiring harnesses. Here is the engine with the intake stacks and wiring harnesses installed.
Port.
Starboard.
When I build the Meikraft kit it will be converted to a D.IV. I've already purchased a very special model of the D.III engine, so I don't mind stealing this engine for my rebuild.
