Title: Albatros D.V vs D.Va
Post by: Loki on November 14, 2012, 06:31:07 AM

Hi all,

I'm a nooby so please excuse the lame question, but try as I might I can't seem to find this out.
What are the differences between the two types?

I bought a D.Va and I think I made a mistake as the a/c I want to build is a D.V. Am I in trouble?

Thank you.

Thank you very much. I hate to push my luck but do you, per chance, have a picture to show what you mean? I think I get it but just to clarify.
Perhaps a quick scan of the instructions from a D.V to show me where the difference is?

Thanks if you are able.

Actually, I'll pop over to WNW and download the instruction sheet. I'll look there.
Thanks again for the help.

Glad to hear it's not lost cause.

Thanks again.

I can see it quite clearly now thank you for helping.

I downloaded both sets of instructions from WnW and can see that I am missing sprue A specific to the D.V and have a replacement A sprue for the D.Va otherwise there are no differences between the kits (save the decals of course).

I don't think it's insurmountable. I'll use the D.V instructions and make the required parts from scratch.

Thanks again.

I think you will find the photo etched frets are also different

Hi guys,

I've spoken to Hannants today and they're going to help me out. I'm going to exchange the D.Va for the D.V.

Thanks guys.
