[Fran]

Hi guys

 

Here`s my Albatros D.V "red hood, tail and wings" Jasta 11, 2 to 6 July, 

This particulary plane was the one that Manfred von Richthofen was shot down. He was shot in the headnd severly wounded while attaking a FE. 2dof the 20 Squadron. 

 

It was believe that four days earlier while flying this plane he got his 57th victory on 2 July.

 

 

 

 

A full article will be on Scale Aircraft Modelling (SAM) next year!

That wood fuselage looks great! As does the rest of the build of course.

Fantastic work!  I love the diorama setting.  Did you use decals for the wood fuselage panels or paint?  Either way, looks amazing!
