Albatros D.V - Jasta 5 - Flaschar (Eduard, 1/72)
« on: July 02, 2025, 08:01:16 AM »
My newest completion - a small Albatros D.V - the mount of the commander of Jasta 5 - Ltn Richard Flaschar, who flew it in early 1918.

The well known Eduard kit was enhanced with PE Part bits including the full interior truss and many metal fittings on the fuselage, Roden Mercedes engine from the spare box - significantly amended with several scratch built installations, the propeller was carved from thin veneer. Control lines and rigging from Uschi elastic.
I hope you like it ;)

This is beautiful, Prze. I'm so grateful you shared the build process: you've inspired me to dig out my 1/48th Eduard Albi. What a beauty.

Hi!

Hard to believe that this is in 1/72 scale?.fantastic work and you really have achieved the feeling of correct scalet thicknesses. And one of my favourite Albatros colourschemes as well!

Cheers, Skyhook

What a gorgeous little jewel of a model. Amazing detail and considering your effort on the interior & propeller it's probably the best 1/48 Albatros I've seen built. Well done indeed, Prze.
Cheers,
Gary

That looks fantastic.  The detail work on the engine is amazing especially considering the scale.
