Albermarle interior views ? desperately poor file

[christian Boehm]

Hello

 

I started building a Valom Albermarle

For years I waited for safe and useful documentation , so the issue of Warpaint 115 was a good news.
Unfortunately many questions remain unsolved despite the study of this publication. On page 25 the author confesses his difficulties to find enough doc ….

 

There is a real deficiency of int photos, the only 2 ones showing the pilot's post looking forward and left side.

I have 2 cutaways ( from both sides ) one (good) of Air Ent Quart 39, but … mmmh hard to be clear in my mind with that

Valom's interpretation of the interior is totally fanciful and false; most parts, as well the resin ones, are pure imaginattion.

The biggest lack is a view of the facilities in the nav-bomber post.

 

Does somebody has Something ?

 

I saw the exchanges of 2016 in this forum . More : on an 2005 exchange on WW2 aircraft forum I read : "There is a silly error, they didn't notice that the dorsal turret should be offset to port  as the kit item is central on the fuselage"

I am astonished beacause on mine ( valom 72008 - Mv V) , the turrett position is offset the center line; I assume that was the fact on first kits issues …?

 

Thanks all !

There is an air museum at Coventry which has much AW stuff, so it might be worth checking there for Albemarle interiors.

There are two photos and a cutway, likely you have it already

Scroll down on these Valom instructions (not sure which Albemarle you have so this might be in your instructions)

.........and what was inside the windows at the rear of the fuselage ???    How was the glider-towing cable attached/routed ??    Many unanswered questions on this type....
