Sorry to come in late on this - somehow missed it before. Des I see that the arrow on the fuselage is black - I have seen black on other models too. I comment on this because I made an Airfix model with this scheme more years ago than I wish to count and my source showed this aeroplane with a red arrow (same pattern and position). Can you (or perhaps Bo or anyone else), tell me if it is certain that the arrow was black or red? Or is it a case of having to interpret b and w photographs? (where red can sometimes be mistaken for black). I am genuinely interested - not that I am going to try to repaint my model now, but it would be nice to have the question resolved (if that is possible).

By the by I can only admire with mouth wide open (sorry, no manners), all of these models - simply superb.

Hi LM, I am not an expert on Jasta 5 or Hans von Hippel, but it seems this (black arrow) is the prevailing interpretation these days:

I'm a bit late replying to this thread, but no doubt most of you guys have seen them before.

2 of my Jasta 5 Albies.

And the Jasta 5 'workhorse'

What beautiful work, Pete. When I see Albies completed like this it makes me want to have another crack at one.

Best wishes

Thanks Nigel, I must admit I was glad to get Rumeys Devil finished, it was a decaling nightmare.

Cheers

Gorgeous Albies Pete!  Your work is inspiring me to get to a D.V sooner than planned. ;)

This thread just keeps getting better. One of my favourite threads on all the modelling boards I visit.

Beautiful Albatroi, Pete, not to mention the photography.  I really like
the grime on the wheels...just right.  If you have any others in the
hanger, roll them out.  You really do lovely work.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
