WNW Albatros D.V Hans Auer, Jasta 32b

Thanks again all,

Prez...I ordered the wrong Wolff (for a Bz.IV engine), but Proper Plane now also have the Wolff for an Albatros D.V, so that's solved

Fredrik...I might give the Proper Plane plywood decals a try. I know this will make you cringe.
I'll decide when I get them...and after a test.
Leaning towards painting the black and white stripes...to be decided.

The tail must be green/mauve instead of black. The WNW manual isn't clear about that, but photo's show camouflage colours, so that's what I do.

Although I know that you will build a beauty out of this kit, I regret that you dropped the plan to do the Halberstadt Cl. IV.
Anyway, I will follow your build with greta pleasure.

I have no problems with others using decals 🙂 and for woodgrain I think decals can be a good choice. Give them a go and decide later! As for the stripes it simply looks easier to me to paint them...

Nice! 

The wooden prop I ordered from Proper Plane isn't the one used on a D.V...my own fault.
I'll use that one on a DFW C.V (late), so no harm done. The right Wolff prop on order now. Together with plywood decals.
And uhm...a Barracuda engine intake manifold with asbestos insulation.

Hi Robin! You can make a change in your order if you want to. It's not late

I'll pull up a stool and grab some popcorn for this one. The WNW D.V's are great kits. I wouldn't say they fall together but they fit well and are well engineered. I hope you try the Proper Plane woodgrain decals. I'm curious about how well they work. The HGW ones are a bit of a challange.
