Jasta 18 Albatros D.Va, 1:72 scale
« on: November 20, 2014, 02:37:15 AM »
OK folks, after an extended absence from WWI subjects, I've decided to jump back in with a tiny Albatros from Jasta 18. I'll be using the Roden kit, Pheon and Aviattic decals, Barracuda wheels, and that's about it. This (I hope), will be finished by September 2015, for the regional here, hosted by my home IPMS chapter.

Good luck in getting the cabane struts to fit properly.

Why, are they a problem?

Thanks, Bud. I have several WWI projects to get back to, and more arriving all the time it seems like.

The cabane struts will need a little tweaking, the front ones are not quite the right length!

Thanks, Des. I sort of fell out of the WWI scene for a few months, but I now have a renewed interest.

Nice choice, Kevin.  You can't go wrong with an Albatros.  Is your Jasta 18
Alby going to be marked as one of the Raven models or a blue and red one?
Looking forward to following your build. :)

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Red and white, with Ravens and the black fuselage bands. Such a cool looking machine.

The one photo I have of this particular machine does not seem to show an over-painted earlier style cross; anyone know for sure?
