    Beautiful for sure, ....

    Love those 26s Ezekiel!

    I must try some myself - they are on my Wings banner, after all!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    All I can say to all the repaints is that they are stunning. I have several DVa's and you have given me much to ponder over. 1 will definately by a MvR repaint.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Yes, I second that question!

    Also, great looking Jasta 26. I have some DVas lined up for just this unit.

    Nice work Ezekiel. That's an unusual livery for an Albatros.
    I think you should have used the smaller crosses on both the tail and fuselage, though. On the picture they look roughly the same size.

    I think you're right. Tail's cross should be smaller

    Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 17 was hardly the most famous or accomplished of the fighter units of the German Army Air Service in the Great War, but it did produce its share of successful aces in addition to some very distinctive airplanes

She was flown by Vzfw Georg Strasser, at Rethéuil Ferme, winter 1917-18. Strasser flamed two balloons while flying this plane in December 1917 to bring his tally to seven

    All Minis are Ares' Albatros DVa (Baumar) except for Alfred Träger (Udet). Iron Crosses are original (wings) and by "Miscellaneous Miniatures" (tail and fuselage). Pilot's markings are home-printed decals. Color Technique: planes was painted in white and then brushed with yellow ochre oil painting for woodgrain effect

    Thank you

    Of course, the real reason why I painted them in made-up colours is that I didn't know the correct ones!

    Thanks, Ezikiel. Glad you like it. Lots of nice work on your planes.

    Disconcertingly, I have had an offer of marriage due to one of my pieces of work. More than disconcerting to the fellow's wife at the time, I suspect.

    Originally painted for PragueCon in May of this year, I discovered I had lost the rub-down lettering sheets!!!!
    I couldn't find the lettering anywhere (still can't!). I took the plane to Prague in its unfinished state, but didn't get to fly it.
    I recently managed to acquire another sheet on ebay, so here is the finished plane, finally, painted to match the scheme I developed for my now infamous Fokker D.VII.
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Hi Ezekiel

    No, it's a made-up scheme I invented for my own 'personal' Fokker D.VII a few years back.

    I have since decided to produce 'personal' planes from 1915 to the Armistice - this Albatros, plus the new Fokker Dr.I and Siemens-Schuckert, cover the rest of 1918.
    Earlier planes will have different schemes, which will gradually "evolve" into the 1918 panoply.

    Where did you get the "Blitz" (lightning bolt/arrow) decal... or is it painted. I have been looking for these markings in 144 scale for several years. The mostly painted model has been sitting on my work table for far too long.
