Albatros D.II D.386/16 Oswald Boelcke - 1/144 scratch
« on: April 27, 2018, 06:15:40 PM »
Even though the Camel is far from finished, I have started preparation on the next project, Oswald Boelcke's Albatros D.II 386/16.

The drawing is WIP:



I only found a few photos referred to as the 386/16, but in most cases I am not sure about it. I am mainly confused about the radiator - some reconstructions show this machine with radiators on the fuselage sides, some with radiator in wing centre section.






So should you have any further materials or information on this machine, would be great if you could share.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Ondra

After a bit more research and discussions with several guys enthusiastic about Albies, I came to the conclusion that this particular machine, despite its serial number, had the radiator in the centre section of the upper wing. So while waiting for the putty to cure on Camel's fuselage, I got some more work done on the drawings. I will leave them here should any of you find them useful.
