Lovely build. I'm partial to those early machines and you've done them justice with this one.
Thanks, Michael!  I do, too.  My next Albatros will probably be a D.II, rather than a D.III or a D.V.
Cheers,
Bud

Great build Bud.  Someday I'll do a wood finish as nice as yours (hopefully).  Must have more Albatri.  I wish WNW would re-issue their DV/DVa.

Thank you, Gabe!  In all honesty, a chimp could do wood finish like this using Uschi decals.  ;) By the way, there's a First Air War Symposium in Oakland on Sept 10.  Can you make it?  Bring some models.  Here's an excerpt from the email Dana Lombardy sent me.

"The World War One Historical Association is holding its second annual First Air War Symposium on Saturday September 10 in the Forum Building at Laney College in Downtown Oakland. Public Hours planned are 10-4PM. Here's a short video on last year's event: http://bit.ly/29ZanAR

 Our co-sponsor is the League of World War One Aviation Historians. Other aviation groups that we expect will be participating this year are Moffat Field Historical Society and Alameda Naval Aviation Museum.

 We will have 2 presentations, a book & art print dealer, tabletop gaming, some models, exhibits and a beverage/snack vendor. Admission and parking are free. Event details are here and a poster is attached.  Website: http://firstairwar.org/ "

Jack Herris will be doing one of the presentations and he will also have a table where he will be selling his books.  Mike will also be there manning the OTF table with me.  It'll be fun.  Hope you can make it.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Steve!  So glad you could drop by.  Still working Mids?  Man, I couldn't do that.
Cheers,

Beautiful work!  Was happy to see an early war Albatros finally done.  Cameo finish looks great.
