Jasta 18 Albatros DVa
« on: December 13, 2016, 03:43:53 PM »
Hi,

Here's my latest build, a WNW Albatros DVa. This plane belonged to the famous Jasta 18 red nose unit in the Raven era. The Pfalz in the picture below is a D IIIa from the Berthold era. Both are great kits.
The Lozenge are from Pheon, and they performed well. The seatbelt is from HGW.

A superb looking Albatros, the red and white colour scheme is very eye catching, a stunning model.

   The first word that I thought of was "striking", what a beautiful example of clean modelling! The colour scheme is one of my favorites for a D.V / D.Va and you've presented a really beautiful model here, that Pfalz is spectacular as well.
   Really nice work!
Cheers,
Lance

Two excellent models both very well presented. Superb attention to details too. As Lance has written they are both striking t look at.

Like all of the others I must say both are gorgeous and very cleanly built! Something I continue to strive to achieve!

What a beauty! :) Somehow not many people build this kit in this scheme. I would not mind seeing some more pictures of the Pfalz, too.
