Got a couple of MvR Albatros D.III from my lad for Christmas, one has been done as Jasta 11's Otto Brauneck's with blue nose & elevator to fit in with my others - Allmenroder, Wolff, Schäfer & MvR - this one I've done as an interpretation of LvR's Alb D.III.
It seems, as is usual with these things, no one actually knows what was right so I went with the dark fuselage interpretation and used this as a guide:

You can just make out the red band between the cockpit & the fuselage cross - just need D.2006 decals, you can just make them out on the tail fin.
- I've yet to decide what to do with the tail so left it red for now as it fits in with some others in Jasta 11 but an easy fix if it should be cammo.
As with my others I used Humbrol: 121 for the pale green, 186 for chestnut, 75 for the dark green. I painted round the Albatros decal...
Fuselage is two GW browns one over another, one was Vermin fur ?? Used a GW bone colour for the rudder and GW Blood Red for the stripe.
