Albatros serial numbers
« on: May 27, 2014, 07:30:25 PM »
Friends,

is anyone here aware of decals for the Albi's tail numbers in 1/32 scale, apart from the ones being included in kits by WNW and Roden?

Regards,
Stefan

Stefan,
   Pheon's Sheet 32002 Fokker Dr.1's of JG II has a wealth of Serial Numbers that can be modified assuming the dimensions are good. I don't know if the Sheet is still available though.....
Cheers,
Lance

...but Fokker serials are a completely different font

Doug Baumann used to sell a sheet of German numbers, included generic Albatros tail numbers...

Yes, Bo is correct: Fokker serials can't be used (this is why I asked for Albatros serials), as the font is different.

This means it is D. Baumann I need to contact - is he active here or "only" still (?) on the 'drome?

Stefan PM me with the serial number you need and your snail address, I can probably put something together for you ;)

Bo,

thank you for your kind offer. I was not looking for a specific set, more for a generic set of numbers. The DIII I am currently working on has no serial No. applied, and for my DV I have a decal with the correct No. at home.

If I have the need for a specific No., I will come back to you, If you don't mind.

Stefan
