Thread: How many Albatri

  1. #1

    Default How many Albatri

    I just ordered the Richtofen and Goering Albatros D.III F-Toy models. I reckon that brings me up to 12 of them. When series 3 is reprinted that will give me 15. My favourite Germans. How many do you guys own?

    Tim, I only hope you never get to the point where you own more planes than actually existed!

    No danger of that!

    A bit of reorganisation might be in order, though....................thin the herd a bit.....................

    I have an Excel file for all my WGF and WGS craft so I can keep tabs and not go too far overboard <not that kind of overboard, Tim > on any one type.

    13 altogether
    5 D.II
    3 D.III
    5 D.Va

    I have tried to get a few more D.III but keep getting outbid - probably by a certain 'board member' ...

    Excel file... god idea, I'll have to do that.

    From memory I think I have...
    2 DI
    6 DII (5 ARES, 1 Shapeways)
    6 DIII (3 WOG, 3 Shapeways painted) ((I won't count the 9 unpainted Shapeways))
    8 DV (all 8 are WOG, still have to repaint a few of these, plus 8 unpainted Shapeways)

    This is a lot more than I expected when I made my comment to Tim!

    My numbers is slightly more modest:
    2 DII:s
    2 DIII:s
    4 DVa:s
    and
    1 Oefflag DIII (if that counts??)

    So 9.... (and counting......)

    2 x Albatros D.II (MvR & Boelke)
    7 x Albatros D.III (Brumowski official, Brumowski alternative (152.52), 2 x Hautzmayer, 2 x Werner Voss, Udet (repainting) -- saving one Hautzmayer and one Voss for re-paintings)
    12 x Albatros D.V (Hippel, Baumar, and repaintings: a pilot from Jasta 5 whose name I don't remember, 4 from Jasta 18, 3 from Jasta 26, Rudoff Wendelmuth from Jasta 20, and Hans Böhning from Jasta 76b)

    a total of 21 Albatross.
    I will definetelly buy more D.III whenever Series 3 is reprinted. I need them to create a small patroll of 3 or 4 from Flik 41J

    Sadly only one D.III but it is Voss' bird so I am happy with that.
    Could not track down any more at a reasonable price but I do have:

    4 x D.Va
    3 x D.II including one Shapeways painted before the Ares release.

    I believe I have 6 but I'd have to check again. I think 4 DVa's and 2 D II's. Apparently I have to catch up to some of you...

    Hi Ezekiel,
    Well now there is a question.
    Please bare in mind I was lucky enough to discover the game just before Series 1 minis came out and they were quite cheap then, only Ł5 for a scout.
    Plus in my collection I have all the F-Toys plus a number of Shapeways and Red Eagle kts, I dont know the exact number, I only counted the Albatross today, but I think I got over 300 little aircraft now.

    Had to check as well...

    2 D.I
    7 D.II
    16 D.III
    20 D.Va

    A number of these (especially the D.Va) are intended as repaints... and some are part of my plan to use Dom's excellent Jasta 37 decals.

    Huh. 45. That's a lot of Albatros.
