I'm guessing, but possibly due to the likelihood of Roden or WNW releasing OEF Albatros kits. There is always the DIY approach:

I think I'd skip the BA box altogether and start with the WNW Beardmore sprue to build the Austro-Daimler.

Fortunately we have Koloman's 1:1 build log for reference...

Steve,
The info in Koloman's articles is the ultimate in reference info; I used his DIII repro log extensively on my Berthold DIII (Alb. built) version.
Great source!
Cheers,
Lance

I have a link for his completed Oeffag but not the build link. Where would I look for it?
TIA
