Title: Schaefer's Albatros D.II
Post by: PrzemoL on May 22, 2014, 07:38:05 PM

I have recently become aware of two- and three-colour wings and tailplane theories regarding Albatros D.IIs.
My question is, if I should follow Roden's instruction indicating dark green - light green - brown camo for Schaefer's D.II 1724/16 from Kasta 11?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I know this isn't a modelling forum, but most of the skins are historically accurate,

Panthercules can be relied on as having done his homework...

Thank you, Justin and Bo for your help. However, it seems I am not clever enough to use it. I even registered to RoF but I still cannot see the skin for Schafer's Albatros. I read the description given by Panthercules but that is all. Then I tried to follow to the roots of late Dan-San article from The Aerodrome. But this led me to Scribd, where I also registered but cannot find the article. Anybody help a wayward internet-idiot?

Here is Panthercules original version:

Revised version based on DSA:

If you want I can take screenies of the final skin in game from all angles. However it will be a few days, I am on holiday, game machine is at home of course, so maybe someone can do it sooner...

Bo, thanks a lot. I would be even more grateful, if you reveal other views. A few days is not a problem at all, I am now working on the fuselage gap filling and sanding. Camo painting is still remote.
