They look lovely, I really like the yellow fuselage and together they make a wonderful sight.

This is the second of my Josef Jacobs planes - the first was his Fokker Dr.1 in another thread. Still to come are his Fokker D.II, DVII and E.III as well as his Halberstadt D.III and Pfalz D.IIIa.
Nice work! Rep gun jammed.
Great job, Gary! Look forward to seeing that one on the table. :sAprvd:
Nice job!
More good work! :clap:
Here is a repainted Albatros D.II. This one particular I dropped and broke the prop off. Since I had to repair it, I figured I would do something different with the markings. I found this scheme in on of the Austria-Hungary Books. It was on a different model plane, but I liked it.
Spinning Disc Prop -- Aerodrome Store. If anyone knows of anybody making these again please share. These are pretty darn awesome.
DecoArt Americana Cadmium Yellow to paint out the fuselage. Thanks to Teaticket for finding this color for me. Good eye! It matches pretty darn good.

Sharp-looking addition to the hangar, Dan! :clap:
I like - the yellow fuselage is awesome & the Bavarian blue-white lozenges pop :sAprvd:
Nice one Dan. I was wondering what you were going to do to that DII you mentioned a while back.
You've been busy, Dan.
Nice D.II
Giesebrecht would approve ;)
Nice one Dan - already repped elsewhere :)
Gary, love that Jasta 22 DII. Rep inbound :)
Tim - going back to March as I've been AWOL - Those Albatros aircraft are awesome, again. I'm now wondering if you have more Albatros scouts than I have models in my entire collection. Rep inbound.
Looking at the paintwork on all of these models, I'm wondering just how you get those lovely smooth finishes (Yes I did note that Dan's is an Ares repaint, but excellent just the same). Am I right in thinking the rest are Shapeways, or are you, Tim, still painting up your collection of F Toys?
I've never done an Albatros D.II card before? Wow.
Attachment 320371
Well it don't show. Nice work as usual Mike.
Rob.
Nice cards as always. Do love Tim's model
Hi Mike
Thanks for the kind words and the Rep! - much appreciated :thumbsup:
I possibly might have more Albatros scouts that you have collection aircraft - can't be certain, though!
All these Albatri of mine are 'Shapeways' (except for one 'Syborg'). None are 'F-Toys' - that company only ever made three Albatros D.III models, and three SPAD XIII planes; no other WW1 models.
Lovely pair of cards, Mike! :clap::clap:
Thanks very much for creating them.

Great D.IIs Gary. Those should do you well in OTT.:thumbsup:
Sweet pair of Albatrii :clap::clap::clap:
Nice brace there, Gary, we'll have to look out for them Wednesday night (snowfall permitting) !
Nice pair should be ok for OTT for another couple of months while DIII’s are in for wing change
Excellent work, Gary! Great additions to your hangar.
REP guns jammed :hmm:
